Extramedullary hematopoiesis in an adult.
Cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare disease, affecting mainly children with intrauterine viral or hematologic disorders. To our knowledge, only about 30 cases have been reported in adults, mainly associated with myelofibrosis. We report a new case of this entity in a 79-year-old woman and comment on the clinical and histologic differential diagnosis.
