Dry tap in bone marrow examination is the failure to obtain bone marrow on an attempted bone marrow aspiration. It may occur because of faulty technique or by bone marrow pathology, usually associated with fibrosis, or hypercellularity, or both. The conditions most likely account for the inability to aspirate marrow are metastatic carcinoma, chronic myelogenous leukemia, primary myelofibrosis, and hairy cell leukemia.[1].
