title: Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving bone marrow.
abstract: The role of bone marrow examination in diagnosis and staging of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, B-non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and T-non-Hodgkin lymphoma is reviewed. Optimal routine and specialized bone marrow examination techniques are discussed. The salient morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic features of mature and immature B, T neoplasms and classic Hodgkin lymphoma in bone marrow are delineated, along with recommendations to distinguish these overt neoplasms from non-neoplastic processes.
