Abstract:	Bone marrow biopsies are standard hematology procedures. We report the case of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia who developed retroperitoneal hematoma after the procedure. The bleeding was stopped with endovascular embolization and coiling. This case raises several issues about the standards for bone marrow biopsies and discusses the approach to patients with bleeding risk factors. We also provide a literature review.
