Bone marrow is the soft tissue found in the middle of most large bones which produces white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. A biopsy is a small sample of tissue. There are two main sorts of bone marrow biopsy – an aspiration or a trephine biopsy. If you’re having a biopsy to see if you have pernicious anaemia, you will probably have an aspiration.
