Sea-blue histiocytes are described in the bone marrow of a 15-year-old male patient suffering from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Cytochemically the storage material in these cells appeared to be glycophospholipid. Lipid analysis of blood leucocytes and nucleated cells of bone marrow showed a significant increase in the phospholipids, triglycerides and cholesterol as compared to age-matched controls. Serum lipid analysis showed a mild increase of phospholipids as compared to age-matched controls.

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.
