Lymph node biopsy protocol

The usual protocol involves excision followed by prompt placement in formalin to prevent autolysis before sending to the pathology lab.

Lymph node biopsy during lab hours

Submerge in isotonic solution. Do NOT use formalin. Aim to prevent autolysis, so speed is critical.

Lymph node biopsy outside lab hours

Place in formalin at room temperature to prevent autolysis. Avoid refrigeration.

Study Notes

  • Aspiration and biopsy have a relative advantage and performing both may cover the individual pitfalls.

  • A biopsy is more traumatic as it obtains a tissue cylinder, requiring a needle of at least 1.5 mm in length and 0.5 in thickness.

  • The posterior iliac crest is the preferable site for biopsy or aspiration.

  • The sternum used to be a preferable site, but had risks related to the heart which could lead to cardiac tamponade from needle passage.

  • The sternum risks were prominent in patients with weakening of the sternum due to lytic lesions from multiple myeloma or plasma cell dyscrasia.

  • These procedures are performed at the posterior iliac crest to avoid sternum risks.

  • Performing a biopsy requires consideration of a hard structure to overcome in the bone.

  • At the iliac crest, there is spongy bone surrounded by a hard cortex

  • The first step is to force the cortex for the needle to enter bone marrow cavities.

  • The Jamshidi needle has an internal diameter of 0.6 cm and forces the cortical bone when inserted into the patient.

  • To force the bone, twisting motions must be applied, like with a cork, until 2 cm in depth.

  • Once 2cm in depth is reached, removal of the needle will also remove the core biopsy.

  • Put the device the opposite way to pull out the core biopsy.

  • Fine needle aspiration can be performed through the same hole produced on the skin.

  • Two kinds of material that can be retrieved with the same anatomical site are histology (core biopsy) and cytology (FNA).

  • The major complication of a bone marrow biopsy, nowadays, is pain.

  • To avoid pain, anesthetizing the periosteum as it's well-innervated, is recommended.

  • Anesthesia has its issues however, and in most cases, patients feel some level of pain.

  • Even in patients thrombocytopenic (low levels of platelets leading to a higher risk of hemorrhages), major complications are not present.

  • Aspiration can be unsuccessful in conditions such as a dry tap.

  • Mechanical conditions leading to aspiration failure: absence of bone marrow, overproduction of bone marrow, and fibrosis.

  • Absence of bone marrow as in aplastic anemia, resulting in the bone marrow filled with adipose tissue.

  • Overproduction of bone marrow leads to blasts sticking together, and happens in cases of hypercellularity like acute leukemia.

  • Fibrosis impairs aspiration, and happens in metastatic involvements of the bone marrow.

  • Core biopsy results take a few days to come out because of the bone, making quick diagnoses to start therapeutic treatments difficult.

  • Touch imprint of the core biopsy on a slide before putting the biopsy in a fixative can reduce time to diagnosis, however it is less reliable as FNA on a smear.

  • Histological material can become cytological ones as with core biopsy imprint.

  • Bone marrow biopsy indications: staging of lymphoma, diagnosing lymphoproliferative disorders, suspicious metastatic involvement, chronic myeloproliferative disorders, aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, fever of unknown origin, inadequate bone marrow aspiration, plasma cell dyscrasia, acute leukemia, amyloidosis, bone disease.

  • Performing a bone marrow biopsy requires conformation of pre-existing lymphoma through nodal or extranodal mass (bulky disease).

  • Bone marrow main structures: bone lamellae (pinkish areas), adipose tissue (whitish, emptied areas), and hematopoietic marrow (in between the adipose tissue).

  • Normal adipose tissue contents compared to bone marrow: the expected normal content of the adipose tissue, in percentage, corresponds to the age.

  • A specimen of an 80-year-old patient should have 80% of adipose tissue and 20% of hematopoietic marrow.

  • A specimen of a 15-year-old patient, you expect to see, physiologically, 15% of adipose tissue and 85% of hematopoietic marrow.

  • Bone lamallae, in particular the channel with the osteocytes is found within the marrow.

  • In the hematopoietic marrow, cells migrate from the paratrabecular area to the center of the interlamellar space as maturation proceeds.

  • The myeloblast is most immature myeloid precursor with maturation steps : myeloblast, promyelocytes, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, band cells, and granulocytes.

  • Architecture indicate pathologies when immature cells are found in locations they shouldn't be.

  • Giemsa staining highlights erythrocytes' cytological features.

  • Erythrocytes precursors are present as proerythroblasts, orthochromatic erythroblasts, and erythroblasts.

  • Orthochromatic erythrocytes are small cells with a dark purple nucleus, surrounded by narrow rings of cytoplasm similar to the mature erythrocyte.

  • Megakaryocytes in bone marrow produce platelets and explode when finished.

  • Sinusoids are found closer to megakaryocytes because these types of vessels are fenestrated making it easier for platelets to enter the circulatory system.

  • Plasma cells are located around the capillaries in a ring-like structure.

  • Plasma cells have a central nucleus with salt-and-pepper chromatin and a prominent clear area close to the nucleus in the cytoplasm (representing the Golgi).

  • The organization of the bone marrow provides more information about possible lymphoma infiltration.

  • The colors corresponding to each infiltration are: pink represents the bone lamellae, the white represents the adipose tissue, the yellow represents the hematopoietic marrow and the black represents the lymphoma infiltration.

  • Different patterns in bone marrow: Intratrabecular, Para-Trabecular, Intrasinusoidal. Diffused Interstitial, and Diffuse Solid.

  • Intratrabecular is the formation of nodules called intratrabecular because they are placed between the bone lamellar.

  • Paratrabecular lymphoma follows the profile of the bone lamellae.

  • Intrasinusoidal is found within sinosoidal lumen.

  • Diffuse Interstitial is formed when the nodules do not have well defined margins.

  • Diffuse solid has an area completely replaced by the lymphomatous infiltration.

  • Certain lymphomas can favor a pattern of pattern but it is not absolute.

  • The growth pattern of the bone marrow is not to be relied on to identify the type of lymphoma and can not diagnose the histotype of lymphoma on a bone marrow biopsy alone.

  • The biopsy is superior in detecting lymphoma in both biopsy and aspiration since it gains much more cells.

  • A biopsy of healthy tissue because the lymphoma location missed will not be detected.

  • FNA can result in affected lymphoma getting aspirated and the bone marrow is affected by the lymphoma.

  • Both procedures should be used to detect disease because aspiration can detect where the biopsy cannot due to a particular lymphomas pattern.

  • There is no certainty in a patient being 100% healthy an not ill for lymphoma when taking a random biopsy and finding it negative.

  • Follicular lymphoma can be found with a para-trabecular pattern has some lymphocytic infiltrates.

  • Smear for FC contains cleaved nucleus (Typical of central cells.)

  • Follicular Lymphoma diagnosis depends on Precise Markers to confirm which marker it is. -LBCL (Large B-Cell Lymphoma) can superimpose already. Present Lymphoma, its possible for the LBCL to be limited to LN; therefore, doesn't occur in bone marrow.

  • Grading is necassary with Lymphoma as ammt centeroblast doesn't reflect the lymphnode or marrow (grade 2 LN is grade 1 in bone marrow for patients.)

  • Bone Marro involvement of follicular lymphoma is very frequent and involves almost 60-70 patients at staging level lymphoma patients but with few exceptions bone marrow biopsy necassary for staging lymphomas

  • Indolent lymphoma is LBLC and when became the disease have already dissenimate Less possiblitiy with LBCL to have bone marro involvement as something feels wrong ealier with the patient and lymphoma. Having bone marrow involvment unportionally on ammount bone marrow involvmvent worst for progrnosis, less frequent and significat than Follicular lymphoma T-Cell Rich-lymphomas can be seen with LBLC diffuse positive with CD20 Disorders with neopalstic cell sorrouned by less prevalent reactions can be lymphoma Exact diaognsis necesscary as treatments are different
