    The marrow removal process begins with relaxing the patient with medication if needed. The provider then cleans the skin, injects numbing medicine, and inserts a biopsy needle into the bone, hollowing out the center to capture a tiny bone marrow sample within the needle. After removing the sample and needle, pressure and a bandage are applied to the skin. An aspiration may also be done first by inserting a needle into the bone and withdrawing liquid marrow with a syringe before taking a solid biopsy sample.

    Marrow is removed in the following steps:

    If needed, you are given medicine to help you relax.


    The provider cleans the skin and injects numbing medicine into the area and
    surface of the bone.
    A biopsy needle is inserted into the bone. The center of the needle is removed
    and the hollowed needle is moved deeper into the bone. This captures a tiny sample,
    or core, of bone marrow within the needle.
    The sample and needle are removed.
    Pressure and then a bandage are applied to the skin.

    A bone marrow aspiration may also be done, usually before the biopsy is taken.
    After the skin is numbed, the needle is inserted into the bone, and a syringe is
    used to withdraw the liquid bone marrow. If this is done, the needle will be
    removed and repositioned. Or, another needle may be used for the biopsy.
