“…6 However, this finding differs significantly from what has been observed in dogs, in which dysmyelopoiesis appears to be rare and myelodysplastic syndrome very rare. 2 Dyserythropoiesis was often associate with peripheral anaemia alone, or bicytopenia or pancytopenia (36.4%, 27.3% and 27.3%, respectively), and was characterised by the presence of morphological abnormalities of the erythroid cells and abnormal maturation of the erythroid lineage. The other cell lineages were not affected.…”

“…In the examinations of bone marrow smears, 1000 cells were evaluated on each slide, and the cellularity, myeloid-to-erythroid (M-E) ratios, and blast cell to all nucleated cell (ANC) ratios were evaluated as previously described [18]. In addition, granulocyte maturation ratio and erythroid maturation ratio were investigated as previously reported [20].…”

Non-neoplastic bone marrow disorders such as non-regenerative immune-mediated anemia, pure red cell aplasia, and myelodysplastic syndrome are major causes of nonregenerative anemia in dogs. However, there has been no study on the clinical and clinicopathological features of canine non-neoplastic bone marrow disorders in Japan. Hence, we first investigated the breed disposition of non-neoplastic bone marrow disorders that induce anemia as a retrospective study and found that Miniature Dachshund (MD) was a predisposed breed. Based on this finding, we investigated the clinical and clinicopathological features of non-neoplastic bone marrow disorders in MDs as a preliminary retrospective study, and we compared them between immunosuppressive treatment-responsive and-resistant MDs. We found that treatmentresistant MDs showed thrombocytosis and increased frequencies of dysplastic features in the peripheral blood. These results indicate that bone marrow disorders in treatmentresistant MDs might manifest distinct features compared with those in treatmentsensitive MDs, and sensitivity to immunosuppressive treatments could be predicted based on thrombocytosis and dysplastic features in the peripheral blood. Further studies that examine aberrations in the genome are needed to elucidate the pathophysiology of bone marrow disorders in MDs.

“…Other important indications of bone marrow cytological examination, that are not always related to hemogram alterations and that can be associated to normal cytology-histology are hypercalcemia, hyperproteinemia, fever of unexplained origin, staging for malignancies, and monitoring of chemotherapy administration ( Harvey, 2012 ; Raskin and Messick, 2012 ; Turinelli et al , 2015 ). However, in those cases, a normal bone marrow cytology or histology should not pose real interpretative problems.…”

Background: In clinical routine, it can happen that to an abnormal hemogram corresponds an unexpected cytological normal bone marrow examination that can be difficult to interpret and to menage. Aim: This cytologically retrospective study wants to evaluate a consistent number of qualitative and quantitative normal bone marrow exams according to the hematological and clinical-pathological data to judge if this normality is by itself a pathologic state. Methods: Six hundred and thirteen bone marrow samples were examined. The bone marrow cytological examinations were performed using morphological and numerical criteria together with a complete hemogram, after the identification of clinical or hematological alterations such as multiple lymph nodes enlarged, positive leishmania serological result, staging of neoplasia, cytopenia, increased number of cells or suspicion of malignant blood disorders. Results: Of the 613 bone marrow samples evaluated, 85 (14%) were classified as normal or without cytological abnormalities; however only 28 (33%) of those cases has a normal hemogram associated, whereas 55 (65%) has one or more cytopenia and 2 (2%) has increased blood cells count. Conclusion: From this study emerge that cytological bone marrow examinations without any morphological or numerical abnormalities are often associated with altered hematological exams and for this reason they should not be considered normal and should lead to other deepened investigations.
