Gelatinous transformation of bone marrow associated with ring sideroblasts: A diagnostic pitfall

Gelatinous bone marrow transformation (GBMT) is a rare condition characterized by adipocyte atrophy, deposition of extracellular gelatinous substance in the bone marrow and associated hypoplastic hematopoiesis. The underlying pathogenic mechanisms of GBMT remain poorly understood. Here we describe 3...
