The results of the study of 165 bone marrow biopsias performed to patients admitted in the "Juan Manuel Márquez" Pediatric Teaching Hospital, are presented. The different affections leading to biopsies were: non-malignant hematologic diseases, 56 cases; acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 9 cases; juvenile chronic myeloid leukemia, 2 cases; malignant histiocytosis, 1 case; non-Hodgking lymphoma, 25 cases; Hodgkin's disease, 31 cases, neuroblastoma, 13 cases; soft tissues sarcomas, 11 cases; and, postchemiotherapy organ evaluation, 17 cases. The morphological characteristics of the bone marrow in different hemopathies, as well as the infiltration patterns of leukemias and of the most common solid tumours in children, are described.
