We get quite a few bone marrow biopsies done at our hospital for unexplained cytopenia. Obvious dysplasia is seen in a few cases and in which I am comfortable calling it myelodysplasia. But in some cases the dysplasia is minimal and I don’t make the calls but clinicians strongly suspect MDS. Almost all of those cases have normal cytogenetics. Sometimes, we repeat the bone marrow biopsy for development of overt dysplasia. My question is can we call involvement by refractory anemia with only mild dyserythropoiesis and normal cytogenetics?


My threshold for MDS diagnosis is a little bit high. I donot diagnose MDS just on pancytopenia and mild dysplasia. There are diagnostic criteria in WHO. With no cytogenetic abnormality, I diagnose as "Hypocellular/Hypercellular bone marrow with erythroid or myeloid dysplasia".

It can range from US $60,000 to $250,000 depending on where you are going to. Without knowing your exact situation, credentials, and preferences I could not make a good guess on how much you should expect. Give me more details about your situation.]]> Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:21:47 GMT http://www.pathpedia.com/Forum/topic6-colon-polyps-hg-dysplasia-v-cis-v-intramucosal-ca.aspx Topic "colon polyps, HG dysplasia v CIS v intramucosal Ca" a message from Johnny Sun, 23 May 2010 17:00:42 GMT http://www.pathpedia.com/Forum/topic6-colon-polyps-hg-dysplasia-v-cis-v-intramucosal-ca.aspx Topic "colon polyps, HG dysplasia v CIS v intramucosal Ca" a message from 64992C36-0BC0-4DEB-B2E0-5481359879D9 Tue, 18 May 2010 09:31:09 GMT http://www.pathpedia.com/Forum/topic4-acute-leukemias-of-ambiguous-lineage.aspx Topic "Acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage." a message from Buddy Wed, 09 Dec 2009 11:41:26 GMT http://www.pathpedia.com/Forum/topic4-acute-leukemias-of-ambiguous-lineage.aspx Topic "Acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage." a message from Hanif edited by MuhammadPathan on 12/8/2009

The articles are timely in indicating that pathology is lagging behind trends in web-based teaching and communications. However, quite a few web sites are appearing including this one that focus on such communications. We need more ideas on how web-based medium can improve pathology communication. Any ideas?
