BONE MARROW MICROARCHITECTURE ALTERATIONS IN ACUTE AND CHRONIC LEUKEMIAS
Keywords:
bone marrow, microarchitecture, leukemia, hematopoiesis, blasts, histopathology, fibrosisAbstract
The bone marrow is a highly specialized and dynamic organ that serves as the primary site of hematopoiesis and plays a central role in maintaining systemic homeostasis. In leukemias, whether acute or chronic, the normal microarchitectural integrity of the bone marrow is profoundly disrupted as malignant hematopoietic cells proliferate uncontrollably and infiltrate the marrow space. This pathological transformation affects every structural component — the hematopoietic cords, stromal framework, adipose tissue, and sinusoidal vasculature — leading to a complete reorganization of the bone marrow microenvironment.Downloads
