Myelofibrosis leading to a dry tap on bone marrow aspiration is seen with ach of the following condition
Ans. c. Acute megakaryocytic leukemia Bone marrow maybe difficult to aspirate in Acute megakaryocytic leukemia and more than 2/3rd of patients have significant fibrosis caused by release of fibrogenic cytokine Erythroleukemia (M6) FAB Bone marrow findings: Usually hypercellular with megaloblastic changesdeg - Erythroid precursors commonly have multicentricity (65%), karyorrhexis (53%), morulae (25%) and cytoplasmic inclusionsdeg. MC immunophenotypic marker for erythroleukemia: Glycoprotein 7 and transferring receptor (CD-71 Acute Megakaryocytic Leukemia (M7) FAB Bone marrow findings: Bone marrow maybe difficult to aspirate and more than 2/3' of patients have significant fibrosisdeg caused by release of fibrogenic cytokine Burkitt's Lymphoma Bone marrow findings: When the bone marrow is involved, aspirates reveal tumor cells with slightly clumped nuclear chromatindeg, 2-5distinct nucleoli and royal blue cytoplasm containing clear cytoplasmic vacuole Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia (M4) FAB Bone marrow findings: Ultra-structures are present in association with monocytosis and myeloblastic/monoblastic infiltration of bone
