ABSTRACT

This paper describes the extent of bone marrow involvement in 41 untreated cases of' non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [NHL] diagnosed lymphnode biopsy. The results indicate that 30 cases [73.2%] had bone marrow involvement at presentation as seen in marrow trephine biopsy specimens. The figure for positive infiltration in the aspiration specimens was less [39.1%]. Cases with a low grade NHL, especially small lymphocytic lymphoma were shown to have maximum rate of marrow infiltration [81.2%]. The incidence of marrow involvement in intermediate grade lymphomas was 66.6%. The commonest pattern of marrow involvement was a diffuse involvement [46.3%]
