[Fatty acid and cholesterol crystals in bone marrow smears of oncology patients].
- Masarykův onkologický ústav, Brno.
In 50 haematological-oncological and oncological patients the authors found in bone marrow smears fatty acid and liquid cholesterol crystals. The number of crystals of fatty acids does not correlate directly with the triacylglycerol serum levels. Similar findings were recorded also in haematological patients.
