Hi - I finally have managed to obtain a copy of my BMB report.
The abnormalities mentioned are;
"Some megakaryocytes appear hypolobulated. There are multiple interstitial aggregates composed of small lymphoid cells and a diffuse population of small lymphocytes throughout the marrow. The reticulin is increased in these aggregates (WHO grade 1) but not elsewhere.
....the lymphoid cells are strongly positive for BCL2 (could be the numerous T cells).......Ki67 positive proliferation index <5%.
CD61 confirms there is an element of dysmegakaryopoiesis with scattered small and hypobulated forms p53 is 5% and weak (modified quick score 3)"
Final Report
"The features are those of bone marrow with lymphoid aggregates which appear to be benign. There is mild dysmegakaryopoiesis, insufficient in itself for a diagnosis of MDS - correlation with bone marrow aspirate is required."
Any thoughts????
