Paravertebral Mass in a Patient with Hemolytic Anemia: Computed Tomographic Findings

Abstract: Extramedullary hematopoiesis is characterized by the presence of hematopoietic tissue outside of the bone marrow and is typically associated with chronic hemolytic anemias. Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare and usually asymptomatic condition. The authors report a case of a 57-year-old man with intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis and hereditary spherocytosis. Clinical and laboratory evaluation, together with radiological findings, are described. The diagnosis of the disease was confirm… Show more

“…Intrathoracic EMH, which is rare, commonly manifests as soft tissue masses in the paravertebral regions. Usually it is asymptomatic, but occasional symptoms might be associated with complications, such as hemothorax, pleural effusion or spinal cord compression [Carvalho et al, 2010]. There was no indication of myeloproliferative disorders in our patient.…”

“…Lorsqu'ils sont présents, les symptômes sont en rapport avec soit une hémorragie, soit une compression des structures adjacentes. Pour les masses d'HEM paravertébrales, il s'agit le plus souvent d'un hémothorax et de compression de racines nerveuses ou de la moelle épinière [15]. L'imagerie montre des masses bien délimitées plus ou moins lobulées.…”

“…L'imagerie montre des masses bien délimitées plus ou moins lobulées. L'absence de destruction osseuse de contiguïté est un élément essentiel au diagnostic d'HEM [14,15]. L'IRM montre de façon caractéristique des lésions hyperintenses en T1, en raison de la présence de tissu graisseux au sein des masses d'HEM [1,16].…”
