Intrathoracic extramedullary haematopoiesis complicated by massive haemothorax in alpha-thalassaemia.
Intrathoracic extramedullary haematopoiesis (EMH) is a rare entity that is usually asymptomatic. A 44 year old man with alpha-thalassaemia is described who developed dyspnoea and massive left sided haemothorax. The haemoglobin disorder was established by Hgb H staining and haemoglobin electrophoretic studies. The DNA analysis revealed it to be a case of double heterozygous terminal codon mutati...
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 کاملThis 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 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...
