The Role of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Biopsy in Diagnosis of Bone Marrow Metastases

Background: Bone marrow is the site of many malignant disorders and it is one of the common places for solid tumors to metastasize. Examination of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is a routine procedure performed for assessment of various conditions such as cytopenias, hematologic neoplasms, nonmalignant disorders and metastatic neoplasms. Methods: The patients were referred to the Hema...

I-46: Ultrasound Guided Aspiration of Ovarian Cyst

Ultrasonography is the primary imaging tool for a patient considered to have an ovarian cyst. On a sonogram, simple ovarian cysts have a uniformly thin, rounded wall and a unilocular appearance that is either hypoechoic or anechoic. They usually measure 2.5-15 cm in diameter, and posterior acoustic enhancement (a hyperechoic area) may be visible deep to the fluid-filled cyst. Most commonly, the...

CT Guided Bone Marrow Aspiration and Core Biopsy

Hemorrhagic complications related to bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy are uncommon. Risk factors include thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative disorders, concurrent use of anticoagulants, and obesity. Here we describe our technique for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy of the posterior iliac crest using CT guidance. Our technique ensures needle passage only through subcutaneous fat and...
