Bone marrow biopsy and aspiration provides qualitative and quantitative assessment of hematopoiesis. It involves extracting bone marrow samples via biopsy or aspiration, usually from the iliac crest, to examine for abnormalities. The bone marrow is examined microscopically via smears, crush preparations, or sections after staining. This allows evaluation of cellularity, maturation and morphology of cell lines, and detection of infiltrative processes or malignancies. Findings are essential for diagnosis of blood disorders and marrow failure.
This presentation describes the technique of bone marrow aspiration and biopsy and shows the maturation of elements in sequence and finally adds a note on how to report a bone marrow slide

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

25. PROCEDURE
Consent: A written consent should be taken from
patient.
• An appropriate clinical history should accompany the
bone marrow, as they relate to possible findings within
the bone marrow examination.
26. 🞪Itis useful to know relevant laboratory data such as
Iron studies, Folate or Vitamin B-12 studies,
transfusion therapy, or history of chemotherapy.
🞪
🞪The physician’s clinical impression should be included
on the form.
🞪Lignocaine sensitivity test should be done.
29. ASPIRATION BIOPSY
Better cytological detail
Topographical details, cellularity
and infiltration
More range for Cytochemical
stains, Flow cytometry. IHC
Ideal for Cytogenics and Molecular
Genetics
Dry tap in fibrosis
Less painful
Less Range
Can be used for both
Essential for diagnosis in Dry tap
More painful
30. ASPIRATE
Smears should be made without delay at the bedside
Remaining material should be delivered into a bottle
containing EDTA
Preservative free Heparin should be used if
Immunophenotyping or Cytogenetic studies are needed.
Some material can be fixed in Fixative rather than
anticoagulant for preparing histological sections
Some films should be fixed in Absolute Methanol for
subsequent staining by Romanowsky Method or Perl’s stain
31. • Appropriate amounts of
anticoagulant for the volume
of marrow to be
anticoagulated are used
• Gross excess of
anticoagulant: masses of
pink-staining amorphous
material may be seen
• Clumping of some
erythroblasts and
reticulocytes may be seen
32. CENTRIFUGATION
Centrifugation can be used to concentrate the Marrow cells
To assess the relative proportion of Marrow cells,
Peripheral blood and Fat in Aspirated material
Useful : 1. Poorly cellular sample
2. Abnormal cells are present in small numbers
34. DIRECT FILMS
A drop of marrow is placed on a slide a short distance away
from one end
A film 3-5cm is made with a spreader, not wider than 2cm
Dragging the particles behind them but not squashing them.
A trail of cells is left behind each particle
35.
36.
37. CRUSH PREPARATIONS
Marrow particles in a small drop
of aspirate is placed on a slide at
one end
Another slide is placed on the first
Slight pressure is exerted to crush
the particles and slides are
separated by pulling them apart in
a direction parallel to their
surfaces
38. IMPRINTS
Marrow particles can also be used for preparation of imprints
One or more particles are picked up capillary pipet
Transferred immediately to a slide and made to stick to it by a
gentle smearing motion.
The slide is air dried rapidly by waving, then it is stained
45. STAINING OF SECTIONS
Bone marrow sections are routinely stained with
Haematoxylin and Eosin
It is excellent for demonstrating the cellularity and pattern of
the Marrow.
This reveals the pathological changes such as presence of
Granuloma or Carcinoma cells
Haematopoietic cells may be more easily identified in a
Romanowsky stained preparation
46. Other stains that are usually done are:
1. PERL’S STAIN - IRON
2.SILVER IMPREGNATION METHOD -
RETICULIN
Both Plastic and Paraffin embedded specimens
can be used for IHC
49. CELLULARITY
Expressed as a ratio of volume of Hematopoietic cells to the
total volume of marrow spaces
It is best judged by Histological sections of biopsy or aspirated
particles
Can also be estimated from the particles present in the Marrow
films
Done my comparing the areas occupied by Fat spaces and By
Nucleated cells
Also by the density of Nucleated cells in the Tail or fallout of
particles
50. Cellularity varies with the age of the subject and the site
50 years of age : Vertebrae : 75%
Sternum : 60%
Iliac crest : 50%
Rib : 30%
If the percentage is increased for patients age: Hypercellular
If the percentage is decreased for patients age : Hypocellular
52. SYSTEMATIC SCHEME FOR EXAMINATION OF BONE MARROW ASPIRATE
LOW POWER:
Determine Cellularity
Identify Megakaryocytes
Note Morphology and Maturation Sequence
Look for clumps of abnormal cells: METASTATIC TUMOUR
Identify Macrophages
53.
54. HIGHER POWER:
Identify all stages of maturation of Myeloid and Erythroid
cells
Determine the Myeloid:Erythroid ratio
Perform Differential count: Erythroid,
Myeloid,Lymphoid,Plasma cells and Others
Look for areas of bone marrow Necrosis
Assess the Iron content of the Macrophages
Look for Iron granules in Erythroid cells: Perl’s stain
56. ERYTHROID CELLS
MYELOID CELLS
Para Trabecular
Mature cells
MEGAKARYOCYTES
Centre around Sinusoids
Centre in Colonies
STROMA
Fat cells
Reticulin Fibres
Fibroblasts
Macrophages
72. PERL’S STAIN
Also called Prussian blue stain
Demonstrates Haemosiderin in Bone marrow Macrophages
and Erythroblasts
Reticulo-Endothelial cells
Hence it allows the assessment of Iron
Developing Erythroblasts
73. REQUIREMENTS
Assessment of storage iron requires that an adequate
number of fragments are obtained
A Minimum of 7 Bone marrow fragments in one or more
bone marrow films are needed to be examined.
To state that the bone marrow Iron is reasonably absent
A Bone marrow film or Crush preparation will contain both
Intracellular and Extra cellular Iron
It is basic to count only Intra cellular iron
74. ASSESSMENT
Iron stores may be assessed as: NORMAL, DECREASED,
INCREASED
May be graded as +1 - +6
Where +1 - +3 is regarded as Normal
A Proportion of Normal Erythroblasts have few(1-5) fine
iron containing granules randomly distributed in the
cytoplasm
These are called SIDEROBLASTS
75. GRADING OF IRON STORES
0 NO STAINABLE IRON
1+
SMALL IRON PARTICLES JUST VISIBLE IN
RETICULUM CELLS UNDER OIL IMMERSION
2+
SMALL IRON PARTICLES VISIBLE IN
RETICULUM CELLS UNDER LOW POWER
3+
NUMEROUS SMALL PARTICLES IN
RETICULUM CELLS
4+
LARGER PARTICLES WITH A TENDENCY TO
AGGREGATE INTO CLUMPS
5+ DENSE LARGER CLUMPS
6+
VERY LARGE CLUMPS AND EXTRA
CELLULAR IRON
79. RETUCULIN STAIN
Histological sections can be stained by Silver Impregnation
Method for Reticulin
For Collagen- Trichrome stain
Reticulin is closely concentrated more around the blood
vessels and bony trabeculae
Hence these areas should be disregarded while grading
80. BAUERMEISTER GRADING
0
No Reticulin Fibres
Demonstrable
1
Occasional fine Individual fibres
and foci of a fine fibre network
2
Fine fibre network throughout.
No coarse fibres
Diffuse fibre network with
3 scattered thick coarse fibres but
no mature collagen
Diffuse often coarse fibre
4 network with areas of
collagenization
81. Many normal subjects may have Reticulin grade 0-
+1
Some may even have a grade of +2
There is a tendency of reticulin to be deposited
more in Iliac crest or than in the Sternum
84. OTHER STAINS USED
Chloroacetate esterase
