A biopsy of a solid form of bone marrow is generally taken from the hipbone. A bone marrow aspiration is usually taken from the pelvic bone (ileum) which is easily accessible from the Lower back, near the hip. Bone marrow can also be taken from the front of the pelvic bone (near the groin) or the sternum (the center bone in the chest). Adults usually have a sample of bone marrow fluid taken from the back of the hip bone (Posterior ileum). Infants and young children may have samples taken from the front of the lower leg bone, just below the knee. |
