Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis (TEMH) is an unusual but well-described entity, which is typically found in patients who have chronic hemolytic anemias, myelofibrosis, or myeloproliferative disorders. It is seldom symptomatic, rarely fatal. We report a case of a 26-year-old African-American male with a past medical history of sickle cell trait/beta thalassemia who developed multiple intrathoracic nodules of extramedullary hematopoiesis. One of these nodules spontaneously ruptured and produced a fatal hemothorax. |
