Histopathologic diagnosis of the bone marrow in leukemia is usually a supplementary method to the cytological in acute and chronic leukemia. However, for patients with MDS and MPD and with dry tap bone marrow biopsy is very important. Important morphological findings and useful immunohistochemical methods for differentiation and characterization of leukemia are reported and the usefulness of sequential examination of bone marrow in leukemia during and after chemotherapy is emphasized. In addition to leukemia, histological features and differential points of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) are mentioned. The proliferating megakaryocytes differed in size and shape between MDS and MPD. The difference in proliferating rate of the cells examined by PCNA was also useful to differentiate the two disorders histologically.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009190 Myelodysplastic Syndromes Clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by dysplasia in one or more hematopoietic cell lineages. They predominantly affect patients over 60, are considered preleukemic conditions, and have high probability of transformation into ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA.

D009196 Myeloproliferative Disorders Conditions which cause proliferation of hemopoietically active tissue or of tissue which has embryonic hemopoietic potential. They all involve dysregulation of multipotent MYELOID PROGENITOR CELLS, most often caused by a mutation in the JAK2 PROTEIN TYROSINE KINASE.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
