Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis related spontaneous hemothorax.
A 39-year-old man had the history of b-thalassemia intermedia and had undergone splenectomy in his childhood. Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) mass was noted on routine follow-up image (Figure 1a). One day, he suffered from acute onset of right upper back pain with dyspnea. He was then sent to our emergency department, and the chest plain film revealed massive right pleural effu...
متن کاملScintigraphic diagnosis of intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis in alcohol-related macrocytosis.
We report the scintigraphic diagnosis of thoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis in a case of alcohol-related macrocytosis. A patient with liver cirrhosis and alcohol-related macrocytosis showed multiple rounded masses in the low thoracic paraspinal region on chest radiography and CT. Whole-body scintigraphy and SPECT imaging of the thorax, after nanocolloid administration, demonstrated expansion...
متن کاملMassive hemothorax due to intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis in a patient with thalassemia intermedia.
We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with thalassemia intermedia who developed a massive hemothorax due to hemorrhage from a large intrathoracic, paraspinal hematopoietic mass. Thoracotomy was required for initial control of bleeding. Postoperatively she received a total of 1,500 rads to the mass and has not had recurrence of the hemothorax. This complication of extramedullary hematopoiesi...
متن کاملIntrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis mimicking intrathoracic tumors: A case report
Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is a rare disease that is characterized by the presence of hemopoietic tissue outside the bone marrow. The masses that form are usually microscopic and asymptomatic, but occasionally lead to tumor-like masses. A 56-year-old male who initially presented to the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China) with upper abdomi...
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...
