title: Small intestinal obstruction caused by extramedullary hemopoiesis and revealing myeloproliferative syndrome.
abstract: A 60-year-old woman was admitted with mild intestinal obstruction. Enteroclysis showed segmental narrowing with mucosal fold thickening of the proximal jejunum. Computed tomography in addition demonstrated enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes in the proximity of the diseased intestinal loop. Histological examination of the resected intestinal segment showed extramedullary hemopoiesis. Bone marrow examination confirmed myeloproliferative syndrome.
