Overview

A bone marrow aspiration and biopsy is essential in the diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia and shows hypercellular bone marrow, Dutcher bodies, and three patterns of bone marrow infiltration including lymphoplasmacytoid cells, lymphoplasmacytic cells in an interstitial/nodular pattern, and a polymorphous infiltrate.

Bone Marrow Aspirate

A bone marrow aspirate is essential in the diagnosis of Waldenström macroglobulinemia.

Findings suggestive of Waldenström macroglobulinemia include:[1]
