What is bone marrow biopsy?

A bone marrow biopsy consists of taking a sample of the bone and analyzing it under a microscope after it has been fixed and stained.
The study is slightly painful and is done under local anesthesia.
A bone marrow biopsy allows you to check myelogram data for such diagnoses: bone marrow aplasia, the presence of cells in the bone marrow that are absent under normal conditions (leukemia).
