Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

2.2K
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Gross Anatomy of Bone

11.1K
The two main features of a long bone are the diaphysis and the epiphysis.
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...

Classification of Bones

11.3K
The bones of the human skeletal system are of varied shapes, sizes, and functions. They can be classified based on their shape and function into four major classes: long bones, short bones, flat bones, and irregular bones. Some classifications include a fifth type, the sesamoid bones, as a separate class, whereas others categorize them under short bones.
Long and Short Bones
The appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper and lower limbs, is primarily made of long and short bones. The...

Bone Markings01:26

Bone Markings

8.7K
Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Morphological examination of blood and bone marrow is vital for malignancy evaluation.
  • Molecular diagnostics have advanced, yet morphology remains fundamental.
  • Challenging cases often require nuanced morphological assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic significance of subtle morphological clues in challenging hematologic and oncologic settings.
  • To emphasize the importance of contextual morphological assessment beyond isolated cytologic features.
  • To demonstrate how spatial distribution, cellular behavior, and microenvironment aid diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of a five-case series.
  • Detailed morphological examination of blood and bone marrow specimens.
  • Correlation of morphological findings with clinical and molecular data.

Main Results:

  • Dedifferentiated melanoma mimicking hematologic neoplasm identified by melanin-laden macrophages.
  • Metastatic melanoma (carcinocythemia) detected by neoplastic cells at smear edges.
  • Anaplastic IgA multiple myeloma with significant cytological atypia presented.
  • Acute monoblastic leukemia case with a rapid, fatal course was documented.
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome with SF3B1 mutation showed prominent erythroblastic islands and subtle dysplasia.

Conclusions:

  • Contextual morphological assessment, including cell localization and microenvironment, is critical for diagnosing aggressive malignancies.
  • Subtle morphological findings can be decisive in challenging diagnostic scenarios.
  • Morphological evaluation serves as an essential complement to immunophenotypic and molecular techniques.
