Obstructive uropathy due to extramedullary haematopoiesis in beta thalassaemia/haemoglobin E.
An 18 year old woman with beta thalassaemia/haemoglobin E developed a large pelvic tumour resulting in bilateral obstructive uropathy. Technetium-99m sulphur colloid marrow image, computed tomographic scan of the abdomen and needle biopsy of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of extramedullary haematopoiesis. Although radiation is the treatment of choice for decompression, the mass in this patien...
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 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 کاملArthritis due to synovial involvement by extramedullary haematopoiesis in myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia.
A 60-year-old man presented with polyarthralgias, a psoriasiform rash, and severe elbow pain. Peripheral blood smear and bone marrow biopsy established a diagnosis of myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia. Biopsy of the skin lesions revealed a nonspecific dermatitis. The clinical presentation was inconsistent with psoriatic arthritis, and there was no evidence for associated gout or collagen-va...
