A well performed and processed trephine renders a perfect idea about tissue and cellular structure of bone marrow. Gentle taking and adequate processing of a sample are a prerequisite for successful biopsy. The most convenient and often sufficient is the paraffine technique with an entry evaluation of the first section and setling up the group diagnosis. Another time, it stimulates further choice of immunohistology and electron microscopy. There are presented detailed evaluation schemes for marrow suppression, hyperplasias, myelofibroses and tumours. They were checked in a group of 400 cases.
