Bone Marrow Histology in CML: A Continuing Relevance

Prashant Sharma and Tejinde

Abstract

A Bone Marrow Biopsy (BMB), though not essential for diagnosing Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) in chronic phase, remains a firstline investigation in the work-up, prognostication and follow-up of this disorder. It demonstrates histological and topographic features, proliferation patterns, detects CML metamorphosis and fibrosis and is indispensable in the investigation of unexplained cytopenias during therapy.
