“…In the setting of thalassemia, it is even rarer. There are a few thalassemia cases published in the medical literature, with intracranial EHs 1,6‐16 . These cases were summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Although 17 years elapsed from splenectomy to discovery of the intrathoracic EMH tumors in the present case, the tumors may have been present long before this. In a review of the literature, seven cases with P-thalassemia developed EMH 4-33 years following splenectomy [5][6][7]9,23]; interestingly, all but one of the EMH tumors were located in the intrathoracic areas.…”

We report a Chinese patient with hemoglobin H (Hb H) disease who developed intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) 17 years following splenectomy for a blunt abdominal injury. The patient initially presented with extreme hyperbilirubinemia and multiple intrathoracic tumors. Hb H disease was diagnosed after investigation, and the marked jaundice, which declined gradually after supportive treatment, was attributed to his chronic hemolysis superimposed on an acute hepatitis C virus infection. A biopsy of the intrathoracic tumors revealed an EMH. Intrathoracic EMH, which is usually encountered in patients with beta-thalassemia and hereditary spherocytosis, has never been reported in Hb H disease. In areas where thalassemia is prevalent, EMH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who have chronic anemia with asymptomatic intrathoracic tumor to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions.

“…Extramedullary hematopoiesis marked by sufficient infiltration to form significant tumor masses occurred in 6 of 110 patients with myeloid metaplasia and myelofibrosis [1]. Such masses may cause spinal cord and brain compression [6][7][8], portal and splenic vein occlusion [9,10], and small bowel and genitourinary tract obstruction [1]. Tumefactive extramedullary hematopoiesis of the stomach is rarely reported.…”

Tumefactive extramedullary hematopoiesis of the stomach

A 3 X 4 cm submucosal gastric mass of extramedullary hematopoeitic tissue occurred in a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Such stomach masses have been misinterpreted as malignant tumor. Tumefactive extramedullary hematopoiesis of the stomach is an infrequent occurrence in patients with extramedullary hematopoiesis but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients known to have this condition.
