Bone marrow biopsy evaluation after therapy for hematolymphoid disorders is complex. The difficulties encountered by the pathologist are due to the fact that a variety of heterogenous diseases for which different treatments can be applied have to be considered. Moreover, usually different clinical questions have to be addressed for which different analyses are performed, typically in different laboratories by different investigators. In the present paper, we suggest a systematic, integrative and interdisciplinary approach that includes knowledge of the original diagnosis and of the type of prior therapy, considers treatment effects and a use of standardized response criteria for AML and MDS. Finally, we discuss how to deal with discrepancies between morphological findings in a bone marrow biopsy and the corresponding aspirate.

Bone marrow biopsy of the iliac crest is the first and most important step in the diagnostics of hematopoietic disorders. The biopsies of the years 2006 and 2007 from the Institute of Pathology of the Jena University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed for clinicopathological parameters. In addition, the Mitelman database was retrieved for chromosomal aberrations. The analysis of 2820 reports from 1185 patients revealed that lymphomas, plasma cell myeloma and acute leukemia were most frequent. Males predominated in myeloproliferative neoplasms and lymphoma subtypes, particularly CLL, except for plasma cell myeloma and acute leukemia. A peak incidence was seen between 61 and 70 years of age with a varying pattern for single entities. The database search revealed that ALL, AML, CLL and CML were mainly diploid while Hodgkin lymphoma, mature B-cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma mostly carried hyperdiploid chromosome numbers. Numerical aberrations like chromosome 8 gains in hyperdiploid CML were prominent in specific subgroups. Molecular testing is exemplified in CML, plasma cell myeloma and hairy cell leukemia. The study highlights typical clinicopathological characteristics and new genetic findings in hematopoietic and lymphoid neoplasms with relevance for the new WHO classification and beyond. We hope that it may help in the differential diagnosis of bone marrow biopsies.

Twenty-six patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoid leukemia and chronic granulocytic leukemia in blast crisis were studied by means of multiple biopsies during a polychemotherapeutic or autologous bone marrow transplant protocol. Following chemotherapy, 3 main phases were observed: leukemic cellular depletion, stromal bone marrow reconstruction, and bone marrow hemopoietic restoration. Following intensive chemotherapy (in 2 patients after cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation) and autologous bone marrow transplantation, the 3 phases appeared to be shorter. A focal or diffuse increase in marrow fibrosis was a common finding in leukemia. An effective antileukemic therapy resulted in a decrease in fibrosis, whereas in some cases a further increase was a precocious sign of leukemia relapse.
