BONE MARROW
UNEXPLAINED
1
Commercially available bone marrow biopsy needles
Technique
• Trochanteric fossa or humerus
• Local or general anesthesia
• Bone marrow biopsy needle (16-22 gauge)
• Avoid diluting with blood
• Use EDTA or make slides quickly (pull films)
• Air dry, Wright’s stain
• If can’t obtain aspirate, take core biopsy for
histopathology
2
Diluting a bone marrow aspirate with blood Bone marrow
Stop
STOP when you have two or three drops.
Preparing
pull film: Bone marrow films
Place one
drop of marrow
on slide.
Place another
slide on top
of the drop,
pull apart
gently

• Cellularity
• Presence of megakaryocytes
• Presence of iron stores
• Myeloid:Erythroid ratio
• Orderliness & completeness of maturation
• Presence of other cells, ie plasma cells
• Presence of abnormal cells
• Presence of microorganisms (rare)
