What is Bone Marrow Biopsy?
A bone marrow biopsy removes a small core of marrow, usually from the posterior pelvic bone, so architecture, cellularity, fibrosis and infiltrating disease can be examined by haematopathology. After sterile preparation and local anaesthetic, a trephine needle obtains a core from the posterior iliac crest. Pressure and a dressing are applied, and the labelled core goes for fixation and specialist review.
