[A case of extramedullary hematopoiesis (EH) in thalassemia].
A 37-year-old woman with diagnosis of thalassemia intermedia was admitted because of mild dyspnea and edema of her lower extremities. CT scan revealed solid soft tissue masses with a well-defined anterior border, located at the costovertebral angles bilaterally. EH was diagnosed without further investigation and a biopsy was avoided.
