The occurrence of unilateral involvement in bilateral bone marrow trephine biopsies in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) at disease onset (10-20% of cases) has been reported since the early 70s. Therefore, although these studies were based on small series, the use of bilateral bone marrow biopsies has become the rule. However, the clinical value of this procedure has never been clearly established. The aim of the present study was to ascertain the true value of bilateral bone marrow biopsy in the staging of NHL.
