Non-neoplastic glandular structures in bone marrow: a technical artefact

W G McCluggage1, R Clarke, H Bharucha

Summary

A rare bone marrow finding involves non-neoplastic glandular structures, identified as dermal sweat gland remnants. Recognizing this artifact is crucial to prevent misdiagnosing metastatic adenocarcinoma.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Histology
  • Bone Marrow Examination

Background:

  • Bone marrow trephine biopsies are essential diagnostic tools.
  • Accurate interpretation relies on distinguishing neoplastic from non-neoplastic findings.
  • Artefactual findings can complicate histopathological diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A unique case presented non-neoplastic glandular structures within a bone marrow trephine biopsy.
  • These structures were located centrally within the biopsy specimen.
  • The phenomenon was previously unreported in medical literature.

Findings:

  • The observed glandular structures were identified as originating from dermal sweat glands.
  • These represented an artefactual lesion, not a pathological entity.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The presence of these structures is attributed to the biopsy procedure itself.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of recognizing artefactual lesions in bone marrow biopsies.
    • Crucial for pathologists to differentiate these structures from metastatic adenocarcinoma.
    • Prevents potential misdiagnosis and inappropriate patient management.
