Severe bone pain and fever were the predominant presenting symptoms. Anemia, schistocytes and leukoerythroblastosis were noted in the peripheral blood smears in 97% (37/38), 72% (22/32), and 66% (23/35) of the patients with cancer and BMN. Malignant cells were found in bone marrow ...
The accumulation of plasma cells in bone marrow causes inadequate production of other blood cells. This causes a plethora of symptoms because of bone marrow failure and consequent cytopenia (cyto= cell &penia= deficiency). The plasma cells also secrete RANKL, which is a chemical substance which ...
The normal adult marrow shows a cellularity of 30% to 70%, which is estimated by comparing the proportion of cells to adipocytes. The core biopsy is important for determining marrow cellularity and the presence of any focal infiltrates such as granulomas, lymphoma, or metastatic cancer. (B) ...
