Bone marrow cytology (May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) of a 37-year old patient with aplastic anaemia, showing a reduced cell content: In the upper half of the picture only fat cells are present, in the lower third haematopoietic cells are still present.

Bone marrow cytology (May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) of a patient with CML demonstrating an extremely elevated number of cells: Granulopoiesis is enhanced, megakaryocyte count is increased. Cytogenetic detection of the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) confirmed the diagnosis of CML.

This bone marrow cytology (May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) of a 75-year old patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) shows in addition a multiple myeloma with plenty of plasma cells (->).

Bone marrow cytology (May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) of a patient with immunocytoma showing a dense infiltration of small lymphocytes (L), lymphoplasmacytic cells (LP), a few plasma cells (P) and mast cells (M). The cells produce monoclonal IgM, characterising it as a Waldenström's disease.

Bone marrow cytology (May-Grünwald-Giemsa stain) of an 82-year old patient, in which, considering the age of this patient, a substantial increase of cells and dysplastic changes in all cell lineages are evident. The percentage of blasts is below 5%. This is a refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD).
