Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a common accompaniment of a variety of hematologic diseases such as hereditary spherocytosis, thalassemia and myelofibrosis. The association of extramedullary hematopoiesis with polycythemia vera in the proliferative phase is much less usual. We report a patient who presented with paraplegia due to spinal cord compression; clinical investigation revealed a paravertebral hematopoietic tumor, and the diagnosis of polycythemia vera was then established.
髓外造血是多种血液系统疾病的常见伴随表现,如遗传性球形红细胞增多症、地中海贫血和骨髓纤维化。在增殖期,髓外造血与真性红细胞增多症的关联则较为少见。我们报告一例因脊髓受压导致截瘫的患者;临床检查发现椎旁造血肿瘤,随后确诊为真性红细胞增多症。
