Abstract | BACKGROUND: Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is associated with a number of diseases in which the normal function of the bone marrow is disturbed. While organs with hemopoietic capacity like the liver and spleen are most commonly involved, EMH has also occasionally been found in other organs like the adrenal gland, lymph nodes, breast, thymus, small bowel and central nervous system. However, presentation of a myeloproliferative disorder, such as EMH in these organs is a rare event. |
