COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BONE MARROW ASPIRATION AND BONE MARROW TREPHINE BIOPSY IN HAEMATOLOGICAL AND NON-HAEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES

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...

Diagnostic Assessment of Bone Marrow Aspiration Smears, Touch Imprints and Trephine Biopsy in Non- Haematological Disorders

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...

Diagnostic Role of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Trephine Biopsy in Haematological Practice

Bone marrow examination is a useful and cost effective diagnostic procedure in haematological practice for the diagnosis of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic haematological diseases. These procedures are also employed for typing of anaemias, evaluation of cytopenias and pyrexia of unknown origin. The bone marrow examination may either confirm the clinically suspected disease or may provide the...
