Localized tuberculosis and myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia: an extremely unusual presentation.

Myeloid metaplasia in the gall bladder: a case report.

Idiopathic myelofibrosis is often associated with myeloid metaplasia (extramedullary haemopoiesis) in the spleen and liver. However, the gall bladder is an extremely unusual site for it to occur. A 59 year old man with myelofibrosis, who underwent cholecystectomy for chronic cholecystitis, showed myeloid metaplasia in his gall bladder.

Myeloid Sarcoma Presenting as Multiple Lymphadenopathy: A Case Report

that is composed of immature myeloid cells. This tumor usually occurs in the course of, or rarely as a presenting sign of myelogenous leukemia (1), yet it can occur in patients with other myeloproliferative disorders or diseases such as polycythemia vera, myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia and hypereosinophilic syndrome (2). Myeloid sarcomas can involve any part of the body, but when they oc...

Arthritis 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...
