We report a case of a bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy (BMATB) associated haematoma in an 85 years old male without any predisposing risk factors. Six days after BMATB, he suffered from a massive thigh and buttock haematoma and a fall in haematocrit. It is important to know that BMATB can have complications aiding early recognition and therapy.
