Abstract

Knowledge of the normal variations with aging of the bone marrow cellularity is essential for the interpretation of bone marrow features. We performed a histological study using biopsy samples of bone marrow obtained from medicolegal autopsies ranging from first to eighth decades. As a matter of increasing age, an increasing fat tissue fraction was observed.

Key words: Bone marrow, cellularity, aging.
