  2. Bone marrow examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow_examination

    Bone marrow samples can be obtained by aspiration and trephine biopsy. Sometimes, a bone marrow examination will include both an aspirate and a biopsy. The aspirate yields semi-liquid bone marrow, which can be examined by a pathologist under a light microscope and analyzed by flow cytometry, chromosome analysis, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR

  3. Trephine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trephine

    A cylindrically shaped core of bone (or bone biopsy) obtained with a bone marrow trephine is usually examined in the histopathology department of a hospital under a microscope. It shows the pattern and cellularity of the bone marrow as it lay in the bone and is a useful diagnostic tool in certain circumstances such as bone marrow cancer and ...

  4. Jamshidi needle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamshidi_needle

    The Jamshidi needle is a trephine needle for performing bone marrow biopsy, whereby a cylindrical sample of tissue, a core biopsy specimen, is obtained. It is a cylindrical needle with a tapered cutting tip. [1] The tapered end reduces the potential of crush artifact. [2] It is the most commonly used needle for performing bone marrow biopsies. [3]

  5. Trepanning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trepanning

    The first smoothening of bone begins in 5 months, but total healing or closure never happens. [49] By the 20th century, the ancient practice of trepanning evolved into procedure of bone marrow biopsy, which became vital for identifying illnesses including anemia, leukomia, lymphoma, and tuberculosis. [50]

  6. Myelodysplastic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelodysplastic_syndrome

    On the bone-marrow biopsy, high-grade dysplasia (RAEB-I and RAEB-II) may show atypical localization of immature precursors, which are islands of immature precursors cells (myeloblasts and promyelocytes) localized to the center of the intertrabecular space rather than adjacent to the trabeculae or surrounding arterioles. This morphology can be ...

  7. Bone marrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow

    Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue found within the spongy (also known as cancellous) portions of bones. [2] In birds and mammals, bone marrow is the primary site of new blood cell production (or haematopoiesis). [3] It is composed of hematopoietic cells, marrow adipose tissue, and supportive stromal cells.

  8. Polycythemia vera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycythemia_vera

    A bone marrow biopsy that shows hypercellularity and abnormalities in megakaryocytes; and; The presence of a mutation in the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene. Patients usually have a very low level of erythropoietin, a growth factor that increases the production of red blood cells, which may be considered a minor diagnostic feature.

  9. Bone biopsy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_biopsy

    A bone biopsy is a procedure in which a small bone sample is removed from the outer layers of bone for examination, unlike a bone marrow biopsy, which involves the innermost part of the bone. The bone biopsy sample retains the architecture of bone when seen using histopathological examination slide.
