Abstract
Savage, Richard A., Hoffman, George C., and Shaker, Karen: Diagnostic problems involved in detection of metastatic neoplasms by bone-marrow aspirate compared with needle biopsy. Am J Clin Pathol 70: 623–627, 1978. Comparison of a large series of bone marrow aspirations with simultaneously performed Jamshidi needle biopsies showed 75% correlation between the two procedures for detection of metastatic neoplasms. In cases where the two methods disagreed, false-negative aspirations resulting from perineoplasty desmoplasia was the usual reason for the discrepancy. Cytologic criteria for the evaluation of suspected neoplastic cells in aspirate preparations are discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
