title: [Nuclear spin tomographic findings in compensated chronic hemolysis. A case report of a hereditary spherocytosis].
abstract: A case report of a 58-year-old patient with hereditary spherocytosis and large paravertebral masses in the thorax and abdomen is presented MRI detects the origin of the masses with typical signal intensities of the masses and the bone marrow in T1 and T2 weighted sequences as extramedullary hematopoiesis. In this special case there is bleeding into these masses and, as often, liver hemosiderosis and splenomegaly.
