Identification of driver genes and pathological bone marrow diagnosis were considered essential for subclassification of MPN in the revised 4th edition of the WHO classification, and this remained nearly unchanged in the 5th edition. Pathological diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis/pre-fibrotic stage by biopsy is now feasible and is becoming standardized. Progressive myelofibrosis and blast transformation are the advanced forms of MPN, and various therapeutic interventions for these forms have been devised.

Emperipolesis is a cell-within-cell phenomenon distinct from phagocytosis more often described in Rosai-Dorfman disease, where usually lymphocytes or other bone marrow cells (plasma cells, erythroblasts or neutrophils) are entirely surrounded but not engulfed by macrophages as the host cell, but occasionally megakaryocytes and neoplastic could be. Mesothelial cell has been described in a couple of cases of lymphomas affecting serous membranes, but never described in pleuritis. In the present work, the first case of emperipolesis by mesothelial cells in a patient with self-limited pleural effusion was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and Electron Microscopy studies.

 Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a malignant clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells which is characterized by morphologic dysplasia. However, the pathological characteristics of megakaryocytes (MKs) in MDS patients with gene mutation are not well established.  Bone marrow MK specimens from 104 patients with primary MDS were evaluated, and all patients were distributed into two groups according to gene mutation associated with functional MKs.

Objective: In immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), which is a common acquired bleeding disorder, cytotoxic T-cell-mediated cellular immune response against both circulating platelets and bone marrow megakaryocytes are the most important mechanisms in the pathogenesis.

Methods: In our study, we evaluated the features of 33 patients with ITP, over 80 years of age.

Results: The median age of the patients was 90, 15 patients were female (45.

The pathophysiology of long-recognized hematologic abnormalities in Ebolavirus (EBOV) disease (EVD) is unknown. From limited human sampling (of peripheral blood), it has been postulated that emergency hematopoiesis plays a role in severe EVD, but the systematic characterization of the bone marrow (BM) has not occurred in human disease or in nonhuman primate models. In a lethal rhesus macaque model of EVD, 18 sternal BM samples exposed to the Kikwit strain of EBOV were compared to those from uninfected controls (n = 3).
