The 69-year-old man's condition has deteriorated greatly in the last few days. He feels very tired, faint, and weak. For the third day, he still has a fever that is not responding to medication, but he has no other symptoms of infection. He has developed small petechiae (spotty bleeding) on his limbs and has had epistaxis (nosebleeds) several times. He is now coming to the doctor because these symptoms are compounded by shortness of breath and non-specific neurological symptoms. The GP immediately sends the patient to the hospital, where the results of the blood count suggest a lot about the patient's diagnosis. The patient has anaemia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia, but immature forms of white blood cells, called blasts, are present in the blood. It is very likely that this patient has some form of acute leukaemia. However, red bone marrow sampling is necessary to confirm and establish a specific diagnosis. In which bones in adulthood does red bone marrow remain and is it therefore possible to perform the necessary sampling from them?
A 33-year-old man visits a general practitioner's office complaining of loss of smell, frequent nosebleeds, difficulty swallowing, and hoarseness.
