Abstract: Bone marrow (BM) examination is now considered a standard procedure for hematological diagnosis. It is usually harmless and without serious complications. We describe a patient with lupus anticoagulant who underwent a bone marrow aspiration and solid core biopsy for the investigation of possible myeloproliferative disorder (MPD). She developed considerable bleeding following the procedure. This incident highlights the importance of proper risk evaluation in patients with this syndrome prior to surgical manipulation.
