This study reviews clinical, hematological and pathological data of nine cases with bone marrow metastases from solid tumors. The significance of bilateral bone marrow aspirations and biopsy has also been highlighted. Out of 784 bone marrow...

Assessment of bone marrow involvement by malignant plasma cells is an important element in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with multiple myeloma and other plasma cell dyscrasias. Microscope-based differential counts of bone marrow aspirates are used as the primary method to evaluate bone marrow plasma cell percentages. However, multiple myeloma is often a focal process, a fact that impa...

objective(s): intracerebral injection of bone marrow stromal cells (bmscs) is being investigated as a therapeutic tool to prevent alzheimer's disease (ad). our aim was to investigate the effects of bmscs by intrathecal injection in ad rat model. materials and methods: bmscs were obtained from the bone marrow of wistar rat and transplanted into ad rat model via intrathecal injection. the ra...

Primary bone marrow diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare type of extranodal lymphoma with poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of primary bone marrow DLBCL successfully treated with high-dose chemotherapy and rescued by in vivo rituximab-purged autologous stem cells.
