How often does a bone histo look malignant, when in fact, it is not? For example, biopsies done of lesions that shouldn't have been biopsied (like desmoid that is mistaken for a ?paraosteal osteosarcoma). Not sure if I'm being clear.

I think it's often institution dependent. It's either IM or peds hematologist/oncologists or hematopathologists doing bone marrow biopsies. At my hospital I haven't seen pathologists do bone marrow biopsies. For FNAs it's either surgeons, radiologists (for stereotactic CT guided FNAs), or cytopathologists who do FNAs. But while I was on the interview trail at some institutions the cytopathologists don't do ANY FNAs 😕 because of billing purposes i.e. clinicians get billed more FNAs than a pathologist would.
