Hypocellular Marrow for 8 year old
My son, 8 years old, recently had his second BMA. This time it showed to be hypocellular 20%-60%. Much lower than the first BMA. He has been diagnosed with ITP but suffers from extreme fatigue, peeling fingers and toes that bleed, petechiae even when platelets are normal. His FISH came back normal. His marrow showed macrocytic normochromic red cells without anemia; lymphocytic hematogones, and megakaryocytic hypoplasia. Says blasts are at the higher range of normal but are morphologically unremarkable. Because of the FISH does this completely rule out MDS?
