comparative observations of 184 bm aspirates support the hypothesis that the presence of hematons in a bm aspirate correlates positively with homeostatic blood cell production , because the hematon was present in normal bm ( 31/40 ) and it was rare among patients with myelodysplastic syndromes ( 15/53 ) , acute myeloblastic leukemia ( 7/39 ) , and chronic myelocytic leukemia ( 5/52 ) .
