Posttreatment changes associated with various therapies
- Bone marrow granulomas
- Sideroblastic anemia
- Metastatic lesion maturation in bone marrow biopsy
- Acute leukemia:
- Initially hypocellular posttreatment with necrosis and proteinaceous debris, dilated sinuses, increased reticulin
- Then regeneration of marrow begins after 1 - 2 weeks
- Other secondary neoplasms: MDS, myeloma, other
Changes associated with specific therapies
- Chloramphenicol, linezolid: vacuolated erythroblasts (Intern Med J 2005;35:626)
- Colchicine therapy: abnormal mitotic figures
- Growth factor therapy: leukemoid reactions
- Immunosuppressive therapy: hemophagocytic syndromes
- Methotrexate and valproic acid: erythroid karyorrhexis, nuclear lobulation, megaloblastic changes
