Posterior mediastinal extramedullary hematopoiesis secondary to hypoxia
Two mediastinal masses were incidentally detected at high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of a 72 year-old male patient, former smoker, affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with worsening dyspnea and 2-year medical history of polycythemia secondary to hypoxia. Integration with a multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scan after administration of intravenous injection contra...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis
Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare cause of an intrathoracic mass in individuals with hemolytic disorders. It can be clinically confused with other tumors of the mediastinum. While radiologic studies often demonstrate findings suggesting intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis, histology is usually required for diagnostic purposes. Thoracotomy was the mainstay procedure for obtaining tis...
متن کاملPeriportal Extramedullary Hematopoiesis
topic hematopoiesis that is a common feature of chronic bone marrow failure. However, EMH is rarely encountered in general radiological practice (1). A mass-like EMH lesion in the liver is an atypical presentation. Furthermore, hepatic periportal EMH is less common than other types of focal hepatic EMH (2). We present the sonographic and CT findings of a histologically confirmed case of hepatic...
متن کاملHomeostatic and pathogenic extramedullary hematopoiesis
Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EH) is defined as hematopoiesis occurring in organs outside of the bone marrow; it occurs in diverse conditions, including fetal development, normal immune responses, and pathological circumstances. During fetal development, before formation of mature marrow, EH occurs in the yolk sac, fetal liver, and spleen. EH also occurs during active immune responses to pathog...
متن کاملExtramedullary hematopoiesis in renal allograft
Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH), defined as the presence of hematopoietic elements outside of the medullary cavity of bone, has been reported in patients with various hematopoietic neoplasms including myelofibrosis. EMH commonly occurs in the liver and spleen (resulting in hepatosplenomegaly) and uncommonly involves the kidney. EMH involving the allograft kidney has not been reported in Engl...
