title: Diagnosis of heterotopic bone marrow in the mediastinum using 52Fe and positron emission tomography.
abstract: A patient with hereditary spherocytosis was admitted with mediastinal masses on the chest X-ray. 52Fe and positron emission tomography (PET) showed uptake of 52Fe in the masses and established the diagnosis of thoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis.
