M2 : a lot of myeloblasts on peripheral blood film .

M3: (DIC) a lot of hypergranular promyelocyte with Auer Rods

M5: has monoblasts without Auer Rods
promonocytes
monocytes
PAS -
...esterase +

Could help me to complete this ?
thanks.

M1 (myelocytic) without differentiation. A substantial proportion of cells are myeloperoxidase-positive; few cells mature beyond the myeloblast stage.

M2 (AMLwith maturation) > 30% blasts, with more than 50% of the blasts being myeloblasts and promyelocytes. Mature forms are seen as well. Eosinophils may be heavy in some cases.

M3 (APML) > 30% blasts. The majority of cells have a promyelocytic appearance with kidney-shaed nuclei. Auer rods are usually seen in the cytoplasm.

M4 (Myelomonocytic) >30% blasts, with promonocytes and monocytes accounting for more than 20% of the bone marrow aspirate.

M5 (Monocytic) > 30% blasts; the granulocyte component is less than 10% of marrow cells. The monocytes can be detected cytochemically with the fluoride-sensitive esterase reaction

M6 >30% blasts, of which more than 50% are erythroblasts

M7 (Megakaryocytic) In this condition, blasts react with antiplatelet antibodies.
