Dry tap means failure to obtain any material at all during bone marrow aspiration.
In leukaemia, aren't you supposed to find at least some material, like abnormally growing cancer cells? Similarly, in multiple myeloma, abnormal plasma cells can be found.
But in my haematology textbook, it's said that dry tap is found in cases of multiple myeloma, leukaemia etc. Why?
