Looking for clear information on bone marrow biopsy cost in Hyderabad? A bone marrow examination takes a small sample of the soft tissue inside the bone — usually from the back of the hip — to diagnose blood disorders and cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. It is normally done as two parts in one short sitting: an aspiration (liquid marrow) and a biopsy (a small core, also called a trephine). At CION Cancer Clinics, the procedure is performed and interpreted by a hemato-oncologist and reviewed by a tumour board. Your first consultation is free.
Starting from ₹10,000
There is no single price for a bone marrow test — it depends on whether the aspiration, the biopsy, or both are done in one sitting, and on the laboratory work. The table below lists the components. Your exact, confirmed price is shared once your reports are reviewed. Add-on tests that are often essential — flow cytometry, cytogenetics / karyotyping, FISH and molecular testing — are charged separately — see below.
| Bone marrow procedure | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Bone marrow aspiration (BMA) | ₹10,000–12,000 |
| Bone marrow biopsy / trephine (BMB) | ₹10,000–12,000 |
| Aspiration + biopsy (combined, one sitting) | ₹12,000 |
Prices shown are indicative and may vary by site, image guidance and the pathology testing required. Flow cytometry, cytogenetics / karyotyping, FISH and molecular tests are charged separately unless stated.
A bone marrow test is advised when blood counts are abnormal, when a blood cancer is suspected, or to stage a lymphoma and check whether the marrow is involved. The aspiration and biopsy are usually done together because they give different, complementary information. CION coordinates bone marrow procedures across its Hyderabad network, with the cost shared up front once your reports are reviewed.

The aspiration and the biopsy are usually done together in one sitting. The aspirate shows the marrow cells in detail, while the core (trephine) shows the marrow’s structure and how densely it is packed — and both are often needed for a full diagnosis.
The aspiration draws a small amount of liquid marrow through a fine needle; this is ideal for looking at individual cells and for tests such as flow cytometry. The biopsy (trephine) takes a tiny solid core, which shows the marrow's architecture, how densely it is packed, and whether it is infiltrated or scarred. Together they give a complete picture, which is why both are usually taken.
The sample is almost always taken from the posterior iliac crest — the back of the hip bone. The skin and the surface of the bone are numbed with local anaesthetic. You may feel pressure and a brief, sharp pulling sensation as the liquid marrow is drawn, and some pushing as the core is taken. The whole procedure takes about 20–30 minutes and is done as day care; the area is usually sore for a day or two afterwards. A pressure dressing is applied, and you are advised to keep the area dry for a short time and avoid heavy activity for a day. Some soreness is normal, and you will be told what to watch for and when to seek help.

Beyond looking at the cells under a microscope, the sample is often sent for flow cytometry, cytogenetics (karyotyping), FISH and molecular tests. These are frequently essential to pin down the exact diagnosis and to guide treatment and prognosis, and they are charged separately. We explain which tests apply to you before you commit, so there are no surprises.
An initial report on the cells is often available within a few days, but the full result — including flow cytometry, cytogenetics and molecular tests — usually takes one to two weeks. At CION, the findings are reviewed by a tumour board and explained to you with a clear next step, and you are welcome to a free written second opinion on an outside report.
A bone marrow examination is central to diagnosing and staging blood cancers — leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma — and the add-on tests guide the precise type and the best treatment. If your result needs action, CION's hemato-oncology team can guide the next step. To understand how a tissue diagnosis confirms cancer, read biopsy for cancer diagnosis, and for the bigger picture see the full range of types of biopsy.
