Extramedullary hematopoiesis: A case report [PDF]
Extramedullary hematopoiesis occurs primarily in patients with hematologic disorders and is a physiological response to chronic anemia. Its pathophysiology remains unknown. It commonly affects the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis in cancer
Hematopoiesis can occur outside of the bone marrow during inflammatory stress to increase the production of primarily myeloid cells at extramedullary sites; this process is known as extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH).

Diagnostic and taxonomic challenges in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with lymph node involvement: A case report and mini-review [PDF]
The WHO and ICC classifications lack standardized terminology to define the disease phase of chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms in extramedullary sites, particularly lymph nodes, when infiltrates resemble extramedullary hematopoiesis (EH).

A 67-year-old male presented with persistent abdominal discomfort 2 years post-splenectomy carried out for myelofibrosis, complicated by anemia and thrombocytopenia. He was transfusion dependent at the time of presentation. Physical examination revealed bilateral loin masses. Contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography of the abdomen (Figure 1)
