Bone marrow (BM) trephine biopsy (BMB) is a frequent and routine diagnostic investigation, as nicely described in the previous chapters, and is also widely used for follow-up of haematological disorders to judge the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions [1]. In addition, several drugs applied primarily for the treatment of non-haematological disorders may cause serious haematological side effects, such as pancytopaenia, agranulocytosis or anaemia. On occasion, the causative link between the haematological symptoms and the previous drug exposure is not perceived and it is not uncommon for BMB to be obtained in such circumstances without any information of a history of previous drug exposure being made available to the haematopathologist [2].
