Introduction: Bone marrow examination has become increasingly important for the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic and other illnesses. Bone marrow aspirates along with their peripheral smears and bone marrow trephine biopsies are considered to be complementary.Materials and Methods: This hospital-based, cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Pathology for one year (March 2011 to March 2012) at BPKIHS, Dharan. Fortyeight adequate bone marrow aspirates along with peripheral blood smears and trephine biopsies were selected and examined. Bone marrow trephine biopsies performed simultaneously with aspirate were correlated with the other two fi ndings to arrive at a conclusive diagnosis.Results: Bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy were found as complementary tests in 51.8% of cases. Bone marrow trephine biopsy provided a conclusive diagnosis in 25.9% of cases where bone marrow aspiration was inconclusive. Bone marrow aspiration alone was diagnostic in 22.2% of cases. In 43.7% of cases both aspiration and trephine biopsy were unable to provide a specificdiagnosis. Bone marrow biopsy was the diagnostic investigation in cases like aplastic anemia, myelofi brosis, and hypoplastic marrow.Conclusions: This study concludes that bone marrow aspiration smear along with peripheral smear findings and marrow trephine biopsy is required to arrive at a conclusive result.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Bone marrow examination is a useful investigative tool for the diagnosis of many hematological and nonhematological disorders. Bone marrow aspiration (BMA) provides information about the numerical and cytological features of marrow cells, whereas bone marrow trephine biopsies (BMB) provide excellent appreciation of spatial relationships between cells and of overall bone marrow structure. We conducted this study with the objective of comparing the accuracy of BMA with BMB in the diagnosis of various hematological disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Both BMA and BMB were performed on a total of 130 cases and a comparative evaluation was performed in 100 cases to see the complementary role of both the procedures. However, 30 cases were excluded due to inadequate BMA, BMB, or both. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed whenever required. RESULTS: In our study of 100 cases, 87% of cases were confirmed on bone marrow biopsy and in remaining 13% of cases final diagnosis was achieved with the help of other ancillary investigations. These cases were excluded for calculation of concordance rate between BMA and BMB. The concordance and disconcordance rate between BMA and BMB was 72.4% and 27.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION: BMA cytology and trephine biopsy histopathology complement each other and the superiority of one method over the other depended on the underlying disorder. Furthermore, application of ancillary techniques such as flow cytometery and IHC proved to be an additional advantage in further typing of various diseases.

Pancytopenia is commonly reported in clinical hematology practice. Due to its varied marrow pathology and underlying ailments, diagnosis is often misleading and delayed. Bone marrow examination would provide a comprehensive diagnosis of both blood and bone marrow, since aspirate investigates the cytological morphology and biopsy evaluates the cellularity, architecture, and compact marrows.To compare bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy results in the diagnosis of pancytopenia, and to determine the sensitivity and specificity of aspirate examination in pancytopenia diagnosis.This prospective study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital from July 2014 to June 2016. A total of 320 samples were received at the department of pathology for bone marrow examination (aspirate and biopsy). Romanowsky (Leishman) stain was used to investigate aspirate samples. All biopsy samples were processed into 3-5 μ blocks and stained using hematoxylin and eosin after decalcification with 5.5% EDTA. Data analysis was performed using SPSS19.Pancytopenia constituted 56 (18.7%) cases with the mean age of 41.79 years. Of the total pancytopenia cases, hematological disorders constituted 50 (89.3%) cases and 6 (10.7%) were non-hematological cases. Aspirate and biopsy diagnosis positively correlated in 76.79% of cases. A 100% sensitivity and specificity of aspirate diagnosis was observed in, acute myeloid leukemia, hypersplenism, myelodysplastic syndrome, megaloblastic anemia, hematological malignancy in remission and negative for lymphoma infiltrate. Aspirate had no role in diagnosis of uremic osteodystrophy and myelofibrosis, whereas leishmaniasis was diagnosed on aspirate alone.Pancytopenia includes multiple underlying ailments which requires a differential diagnosis approach. Combining both aspirate and biopsy for diagnosis would benefit the patient in prognosis as they are complementary to each other.

Haematological Disorders

Introduction: There are various disorders in formation of blood in body. Bone marrow is one of them which involved variety of hematological and nonhematological disorders. Hematological disorders include myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), acute leukemia, hemato-lymphoid neoplasm and nutritional deficiency diseases whereas nonhematological disorders include infectious diseases infiltrating the bone marrow such as parasitic infections, tuberculosis and metastatic deposits. Bone marrows present various diseases with various clinical symptoms with the involvement of blood but peripheral blood picture alone does not reflect the nature of disease process. Depending upon the suspected diagnosis from clinical features and peripheral blood examination, that indication for bone marrow examination can be done. Examination of Bone marrow is useful in the diagnosis of both hematological and non-hematological disorders. The most important techniques used for the diagnosis of hematological disorders are trephine biopsy and bone marrow aspiration. For the interpretation of the disorder of bone marrow history, clinical finding, peripheral blood picture and other laboratory findings are required. Usually Bone marrow aspiration (BMA) alone is sufficient for the diagnosis of nutritional anaemias, most of the acute leukaemias and Immune thrombocytopenias. Diagnosis such as Trephine biopsy provides important diagnostic information myelofibrosis, granulomatous disease and bone marrow infiltration. Bone marrow aspiration is useful in making out better individual cell morphology whereas biopsy is useful in bone marrow architectural pattern and distribution. Bone marrow is nor mocellular or hypercellula resulting from ineffective hematopoiesis, increased peripheral destruction and bone marrow invasion. Therefore, bone marrow examination is extremely helpful to identify the cause of pancytopenia. Aim: The main aim of this study is to evaluate the cytological and histological pattern of various hematological disorders in bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy respectively. Material and Methods: During the period of 1 year 100 patient with the cases of haematological disorders were included in this study. Routinely stain like Leishman stain is used for bone marrow aspiration. Haematoxylin and eosin stain is also used for trephine biopsy. For all the cases reticulocyte count, peripheral smears, sickling test and complete hemogram were done. Special stains PAS Stain (Periodic acid schiff) was done for all ALL, AML and gauchers disease. In ALL cases Block positivity is shown. In gauchers disease, a gaucher cell shows wrinkled tissue paper appearance with PAS positivity. Reticulin stain was done in myelofibrosis and metastatic deposits. In myelofibrosis, trephine biopsy shows increase in reticulin network with coarse fibrils. Result: In all the cases bone marrow aspiration was done and among them 40 cases trephine biopsy were done. Out of total patients 57 were male and 43 were female.  And the mean age was found as 32.6 years. The findings of the bone marrow were examination. At the time of study period 50% of the study have anemias and they are predominantly megaloblastic followed by aplastic/ hypoplastic anemias. Other three cases include two metastatic deposits and one storage disorder (Gaucher’s Disease). Conclusion: Bone marrow examination is important to diagnosis, prognosis or evaluate therapeutic response for a variety of hematologic and non-hematologic problems. Nowadays, Bone marrow aspiration & bone marrow biopsy are used routinely as diagnostic procedures because it is easier and does not require advance equipments. Therefore both the procedures are complementary to each other which are helpful in further investigation and management.

Introduction: Bone marrow examination is an important diagnostic tool to evaluate various disorder including both neoplastic and non-neoplastic hematological diseases. The two most important techniques used for the diagnosis are bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow trephine biopsy which are complementary to each other.Aim and Objectives: To compare the diagnostic value of bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. Material and methods: A total of 88cases with both bone marrow aspiration and biopsy were included in the study. All the aspirate smears were routinely stained by Jenner Giemsa while the trephine biopsy sections were stained by routine Hematoxylin and Eosin stain.. All the smears and sections were reviewed and the findings on BMA and BMB were compared and the final correlation done.Result: Hypolastic marrow was the most common diagnosis followed by immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). But the diagnostic accuracy of ITP on aspiration was 100 % in compare to hypoplastic marrow (81.25%). The diagnosis accuracy of BMA in our study was 84.09%.Conclusion: Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy complement each other. Bone marrow aspiration provides better study of the cell, whereas biopsy provides detail about the pattern of cellular distribution, hence when performed together it gives better diagnostic accuracy.

Background: Pancytopenia is a common hematological finding resulting from varieties of disease processes that require evaluation of bone marrow. This study was carried out to evaluate bone marrow findings in patients presenting with pancytopenia.Materials and Method: This was a prospective cross sectional study carried out to identify the causes of pancytopenia based on bone marrow examination. Bone marrow examinations were performed in 503 cases for different indications over a period of one year.Results: One hundred and two (20.27%) cases fulfilled the criteria of pancytopenia. Trephine biopsy was possible only in 48 cases. In 75% cases aspiration findings were similar to biopsy. Mean age of patients was 38.8 years. Maximum number of cases was seen in age group of 15-30 years. Hypoplastic anemia was the commonest cause followed by hematological malignancies, megaloblastic anemia, leishmaniasis and Gaucher disease. Bone marrow examination alone was able to establish the diagnosis in 76.5% cases. In rest marrow findings were nonspecific and in 4.9% cases findings were normal.Conclusion: Bone marrow aspiration coupled with trephine biopsy can diagnose majority but not all the cases of pancytopenia. Hypoplastic anemia, hematological malignancies and megaloblastic anemia are the commonest causes of pancytopenia. Maximum diagnostic yield can be achieved by correlation with clinical findings, peripheral blood findings and with other laboratory and radiological parameters.Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2012) Vol. 2, 265-271DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v2i4.6875
