Abstract
- Bone marrow necrosis is most frequently diagnosed at postmortem examination. Antemortem diagnosis is uncommon. However, organized studies using either bone marrow biopsy specimens or autopsy material showed that bone marrow necrosis can be demonstrated in approximately one third of specimens. Bone marrow necrosis has been observed during the course of a wide variety of diseases, most commonly in association with acute and chronic leukemia, carcinoma, malignant lymphoma, infections, and sickle cell disease. We report one case of bone marrow necrosis due to miliary tuberculosis. Although appropriate diagnosis and treatment were performed, the patient expired.
