'''Haematological''' analysis should always be performed with suspected lymphoma for staging purposes and for the recording of base-line parameters prior to the initiation of any treatment to assess the severity of any future myelosuppression. Potential abnormalities for those patients with bone marrow involvement may include [[Lymphocytosis|lymphocytosis]], [[Platelet Abnormalities#Thrombocytopaenia|thrombocytopenia]], [[Neutropenia|neutropenia]] and the presence of immature lymphoid precursors.
