title: Radiographic appearance of lliac marrow biopsy sites.
abstract: Following biopsy of marrow from the iliac bone, a lytic lesion, circular and with a sclerotic border, will be seen at the site of the biopsy in the posterior-superior iliac spine. Knowledge of this iatrogenic lesion permits its differentiation from more significant conditions.
