Abstract

Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a physiological compensatory event that develops in hematological diseases characterized by hemolysis such as thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, myelofibrosis, hereditary spherocytosis, as a result of the insufficiency of the bone marrow in meeting the need for circulation. 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.
