The bone marrow biopsy after the introduction of the Jamshidi needle has come into a routine practice due to the facilitation to obtain good sample. Due to the adequate size of the sample, the decalcification time decreased and consequently the histological quality improved allowing to the pathologist a more deep and precise morphological interpretation and diagnosis of the hematological and non- hematological disorders. For a correct diagnosis, the pathologist should be acquainted with the normal histology of the bone marrow parenchyma, it variations depending on age, as well as with the clinico- laboratorial data to integrate them with the morphological features.
