title: Ultrastructural aspects of leukaemic cells in acute myeloblastic leukaemia.
abstract: Ultrastructural aspects of leukaemic cells in a case of myeloblastic leukaemia are described. Changes concerning of mitochondrial ultrastructure, but primarily the presence of vast numbers of fibrillar structures in the cytoplasm of the examined cells were observed. These structures were spreading through their gradual widening to cover almost the whole cell cytoplasm, damaging its organellae and internal architecture. The nature of the observed changes remains unknown.
