Bone marrow biopsy is a mandatory procedure to diagnose several hematological disorders. This invasive analysis is generally safe and the procedure-related risks are rare and include bleeding at the site of puncture and, very occasionally, local infections. Here, we describe a case of sacroiliitis that occurred as a consequence of bone marrow biopsy.

The frequency of bone marrow involvement in patients with lymphosarcoma (LSA) and the particular value of the marrow biopsy, as compared with the aspiration smear technique, in the initial staging of this disease were investigated. Certain physical findings and laboratory studies were analyzed to determine whether the presence of marrow invasion could be predicted. Of 75 patients, 47 (63#{176}/...

OBJECTIVES To describe a rare case of subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma (SPTCL) with morphologic and immunophenotypic evidence of bone marrow involvement. METHODS Biopsy specimens of skin and subcutis and bone marrow were examined using H&E-stained sections. Immunohistochemical studies for CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD20, CD30, CD56, and granzyme B were reviewed. In addition, ...

Introduction Marrow biopsy by surgical trephine is an older procedure than needle aspiration. It is only since the late 1950s that core needle biopsy of the bone marrow has been widely used. Since that time, it has had a considerable effect on diagnostic haematology, pathology and oncology. Wide acceptance is associated with the introduction of a simple procedure using the Jamshidi needle to im...

non-hodgkin lymphoma usually presents with generalized lymphadenopathy, but it can also involve any part of the human body. lymphomatous involvement of muscles is a rare presentation and has been reported to occur in only 1.1% in non-hodgkin lymphoma. here we, present a 32 year-old iranian man with primary involvement of spleen, bone, bone marrow and muscle, mimicking soft tissue sarcoma; core ...

Background: Hematological disorders are found commonly in the general population existing on both ends of spectrum with minute like iron deficiency anemia to as severe bone marrow infiltration Objective: To assess frequency hematological malignancies based bone-marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy patients presenting tertiary care hospital Methodology: The current study was cross-section descr...

The purpose of this study was to compare a novel bone marrow device with the standard marrow needle in a prospective, randomized study in a teaching hospital employing hematologists-in-training. The new device, the OnControl Bone Marrow (OBM) Biopsy System, utilizes a battery-powered drill to insert the needle. Fifty-four bone marrows (27 standard and 27 OBM) were performed by 11 fellows under ...

Materials and Methods: BMA and BMB were performed on 50 patients. Criteria of inclusion included the main indications for performing this procedure, the availability of full medical records and patient consent. The patients had a male to female sex ratio of 1.6:1 and a wide age range from 4 years to 74 years. Results: In the present study, the main indications for bone marrow examination were c...
