Extramedullary hematopoiesis in breast aspirates.
Hematopoietic elements were found in breast aspirates from nine women. A complete hematologic work-up did not disclose any hematologic disorder. It was concluded that these findings represent microfoci of extramedullary hematopoiesis without any pathologic significance.
