MR findings in hereditary spherocytosis.
The magnetic resonance findings of intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis associated with bone marrow reconversion, and reticuloendothelial hemosiderosis in a 50-years-old are reported. Radiologic finding of extramedullary hematopoiesis was the first step to the diagnosis of previously unknown hereditary spherocytosis.
