AI Article Synopsis
- Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) typically happens during fetal development but is abnormal in adults, often linked to bone marrow disorders.
- EMH can form large masses that may lead to symptoms like compression and can be misdiagnosed as cancers or tuberculosis.
- The case report highlights a specific instance of mediastinal EMH resulting from myelofibrosis, an underlying condition affecting bone marrow.
Article Abstract
Extramedullary hematopoisis (EMH) normally occurs in fetal life, but it is pathological in later life and most of the time because of underlying marrow diseases. Sometimes EMH tissue can present with large masses which can cause compressive and constitutional symptoms. They can be wrongly diagnosed as malignancy and pulmonary tuberculosis. Here in this case report we are reporting a case with mediastinal EMH because of underlying mylofibrosis.
