CONT

Aplastic anemia is a disease of the young, with a median age at onset of about 25 years (excluding aplasia secondary to cancer chemotherapy). It must be a leading diagnosis in the pancytopenic adolescent or young adult. The bone marrow is usually readily aspirated but appears dilute on smear. The biopsy specimen, often grossly pale, shows mainly fat under the microscope, with hematopoietic cells occupying by definition less than 25% of the marrow space and, in the most serious cases, 0 to 5%
