Summary

Knowledge and understanding of the appearance of normal bone marrow (BM) and therefore normal haematopoiesis is essential for both general pathologists and specialist haematopathologists. It is only once normal cytology and histology is understood that abnormalities can be identified and defined, leading to the accurate diagnosis of pathologies seen in the BM.
