Bone marrow trephine biopsy involvement by lymphoma: pattern of involvement and concordance with flow cytometry, in 10 years from a single institution. Clinical and Translational Oncology [Internet]. 2015 Aug 27;18(5):537–40.

Methods/patients: 413 cases were included in the study if BM biopsy slides were available. Only 356 patients had both BM trephine biopsy and flow cytometry. Results: The most frequent subtype was diffuse large B cell (31.2%), followed by follicular lymphoma (18.9%). The predominant pattern was mixed (nodular-interstitial) (9.2%). Morphological marrow infiltration was found in 138 cases, and flow cytometry identified 117 cases with BM involvement. A concordance between the two methods was detected in 305 cases (85.7%). There was discordance in 51 cases (14.3%): morphology positive/FC negative in 33 cases and morphology negative/FC positive in 18. Conclusions: Flow cytometry is slightly more useful in detecting involvement when the BM is affected, but this finding is not conclusive.engjournal article1699-3055https://doi.org/10.1007/s12094-015-1393-926311078https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12094-015-1393-9https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26311078/restricted access616.1/.9Bone marrowDiscordanceFlow cytometryPattern involvement.Ciencias BiomédicasOncología32 Ciencias Médicas3207 Patología
