Introduction: The study was done to know the spectrum of hematological disorders. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective and prospective study of bone marrow aspiration (BMA) and biopsies done on patients who were referred for bone marrow examination. Cases were analyzed in detail regarding clinical examination and other investigations. Results: BMA from 110 patients were analyzed. Nutritional anemia contributed highest number of cases among the nonhematological group. Out of nutritional anemia megaloblastic anemia was the most common disorder. Acute myeloid leukemia was the commonest malignant hematological disorder in the present study. Among 110 cases 56 cases were male and 54 were female patients with highest number of cases in the age group of 21-30 years. Conclusion : Although bone marrow examination is an invasive procedure this is well tolerated by patients. The examination helps in many cases to arrive at a final diagnosis within a short span of time.
