SummaryBone marrow scintigraphy after the application of indium 111 In was compared with the results of bone marrow puncture in 18 patients with Hodgkin's disease treated with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Agreement was found in 85% of the cases. When the results of bone marrow puncture were compared with the general state of haemopoiesis estimated scintigraphically agreement was found in only 65%. Bone marrow scintigraphy gives a more detailed knowledge of the general state of haemopoiesis and serves as a guide for the control of therapy with cytostatics and/or irradiation.

Bone marrow aspiration (BMA) and biopsy (BMTB) are important investigations for diagnosis of haematolgical malignancies and non-malignant diseases both in adults and children. BMA and BMTB are complementary and if both are done a comprehensive analysis of bone marrow involvement is possible. 53 cases of BMTB were studied in order to underscore the indications and importance of BMTB. BMTB was done to determine cellularity in aplastic anaemia (AA) (33.96%, n=18) and in cases of failure of aspiration (32.08%, n=17). Failure of aspiration was attributable to bone marrow (BM) fibrosis (76%, n=13) due to acute leukaemia (35.30%, n=6) and myelofibrosis (43.17%, n=7). BMTB upstaged non Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) from IIIB to IVB in 22.22% cases. 1 case of AA showed focal lymphoid aggregate which later evolved into acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). BMTB is a safe procedure and increased bleeding was noted only in a case of polycythaemia vera.

A 61-year-old man presented to the department of clinical haematology in February 2016 with symptomatic anaemia, generalised lymphadenopathy and hepatomegaly. Routine investigations showed severe anaemia with the presence of lymphoplasmacytoid cells in the peripheral smear, and bone marrow examination with IHC and serum protein electrophoresis confirmed diagnosis of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. The patient received supportive transfusion therapy and combination chemotherapy. After VI cycles, the patient had a complete haematological response with marrow in remission. Maintenance rituximab was planned every 3 months for 2 years. At the time of first dose of maintenance rituximab, his haemoglobin (Hb) was 189 g/L with low normal erythropoietin level. During the last 3 years follow-up, his Hb ranged between 16.5 and 20.1 g/dL. All causes of secondary polycythaemia were ruled out. Workup for polycythAemia vera (PV), including JAK-2 and bone marrow, was not suggestive of PV. We labelled it as a case of polycythaemia due to undetermined aetiology.
