Abstract

Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis is reported in the literature but rare; typically found in the chronic hemolytic anemia. We report a beta-thalassaemia major patient, 11-y-girl, presented with hemothorax. Computed tomographic scan of the thorax showed many paravertebral and extra-pulmonary tumors. Biopsy revealed extramedullary haematopoiesis. Hemothorax in beta thalssemia should be suspicion about Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis because surgical intervention is first-line management.

Keywords: extramedullary haematopoiesis; haemothorax; thalassaemia
