It is characterized by: Anemia, Neutropenia , Thrombocytopenia, and Reticulocytopenia. Splenomegaly is characteristically absent; if present, the diagnosis of aplastic anemia is almost ruled out. Bone marrow shows hypocellular marrow largely devoid of hematopoietic cells, often only fat cells, fibrous stroma, and scattered or clustered foci of lymphocytes and plasma cells.
