    A bone marrow biopsy involves removing solid bone marrow tissue from inside the bone, usually from the pelvic or breast bone, to examine under a microscope. It differs from a bone marrow aspiration, which removes marrow in liquid form. The biopsy is performed by a healthcare provider in their office or hospital by extracting a sample of the soft, blood-forming tissue found within most hollow bones.

    Bone marrow biopsy

    Email this page to a friend Print Facebook Twitter Pinterest

    A bone marrow biopsy is the removal of marrow from inside bone. Bone marrow is the
    soft tissue inside bones that helps form blood cells. It is found in the hollow
    part of most bones.

    Bone marrow biopsy is not the same as bone marrow aspiration. An aspiration removes
    a small amount of marrow in liquid form for examination.
    How the Test is Performed

    A bone marrow biopsy may be done in the health care provider's office or in a
    hospital. The sample may be taken from the pelvic or breast bone. Sometimes,
    another area is used.
