Figure 1.
Bone marrow in acute leukemia and severe aplastic anemia. Normal bone marrow (A) contains hematopoietic cells in various stages of maturation. Bone marrow of a patient with acute leukemia (B) is filled with monotonously appearing large leukemic blasts. Bone marrow in severe aplastic anemia (C) is profoundly hypocellular. Aplastic bone marrow is strikingly “empty,” with visible stromal cells but very few hematopoietic cells.
