Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare condition. In this study, we present a 49-year-old male patient who was followed up by the hematology clinic due to thalassemia intermedia, and who underwent PET-CT examination for metabolic characterization after detecting a mass located in the paravetebral area in the posterior mediastinum.}, number={3}, publisher={Mersin University}
