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.
髓外造血(EMH)通常发生于胎儿期,但在出生后则为病理性,多数情况下是由潜在的骨髓疾病引起。有时,EMH组织可表现为巨大肿块,从而导致压迫症状和全身症状。它们可能被误诊为恶性肿瘤和肺结核。在本病例报告中,我们报告了一例因潜在的骨髓纤维化导致纵隔EMH的病例。
