This extraordinary extramedullary haematopoiesis.
In this issue of the Journal, Stroo et al. [1] published their findings on the engraftment of the intact and ischaemic kidney by haematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Specifically, these investigators demonstrated that systemically administered HSC preferentially migrate to the ischaemic kidney and that this process is SDF-1/CXCR4 independent. Indeed, ischaemia-induced retention of hypoxia-inducible...
متن کاملExtramedullary Hematopoiesis in Adrenal Gland. An Uncommon Cause of Adrenal Incidentaloma in Sickle Cell Disease
Dear Editor Extramedullary hematopiesis (EMH) is a response to insufficient blood cell production by producing of blood elements outside of the marrow cavity. It occurs most often due to hemolytic anemias such as thalasemia, hereditary spherocytosis and sickle cell anemia. It also could be seen in prolonged iron deficiency anemia, myelofibrosis, polycythemia, leukemia and lymphoma[1,2,3]. EMH o...
متن کاملPleural extramedullary haematopoiesis in myelosclerosis.
DESPITE the extensive literature on myelosclerosis and extramedullary haematopoiesis (myeloid metaplasia), reference to the pleura as being the site of extramedullary haematopoiesis is not made in either the standard medical and pathology textbooks or in the radiological literature. We have recently encountered a case of myelosclerosis in which aspiration of what appeared on both clinical and r...
متن کاملExtramedullary haematopoiesis in the kidney
Extramedullary haematopoiesis (EMH) is the development of haematopoietic tissue outside the bone marrow and it most often occurs in the liver and spleen. Renal EMH is quite rare and there are very few case reports concerning the kidney. We describe two cases of 'renal histologically documented EMH' and, in particular, in the second of these two, the EMH tissue coexists with a clear cell renal c...
متن کاملSpinal Cord Compression by Extramedullary Haematopoiesis in Myelosclerosis.
Spinal cord compression by extradural deposits is not uncommon in myeloma (Clarke, 1956; McKissock, Bloom, and Chynn, 1961), leukaemia (Wilhyde, Jane, and Mullan, 1963), and Hodgkin's disease (Bhagwati and McKissock, 1961). Cord compression by the malignant lymphomas is discussed by Love, Miller, and Kernohan (1954) and by Hutchinson, Leonard, Maudsley, and Yates (1958). Close, Taira, and Cleve...
