Bone marrow biopsy changes in the iliac bone mimicking multiple colonic polypi

J Singer et al. Australas Radiol. 1990 Aug.

Abstract

Many different entities simulating colonic polyps on barium enema examination have been described. Of the extraluminal mimics, round bony structures such as vertebral pedicles are perhaps best known. We describe the cause of a previously undescribed artifact: bone marrow biopsy of the ilium.
