Comparative Analysis of Diagnostic Value of Simultaneous Use of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy in Routine Haematology Practice: An Institutional Experience

Abstract

BACKGROUNDBone marrow aspirations and simultaneous use of bone marrow biopsies are important diagnostic procedures done in various haematological and non-haematological disorders. A comparative study of both the procedures done simultaneously was retrospectively reviewed in 50 cases with clinical correlation with BMA and BMB results. The advantage of each method is analysed.The objectives of the study were to assess the diagnostic value of the BMA and BMB and role of both the procedures to reach final diagnosis when done simultaneously and its correlation with clinical data.
