Case report: pararenal extramedullary haematopoietic tissue--an unusual manifestation of myelofibrosis.
The case of a 41-year-old man with myelofibrosis who presented with anaemia and splenomegaly is described. Ultrasound examination revealed several multiple circumscribed hypoechoic masses adjacent to both kidneys. The lesions were confirmed by computed tomography (CT) and biopsy of them revealed extramedullary haematopoietic tissue.
