Haemothorax in Thalassaemia May be a Complication of Rupture of Intrathoracic Extramedullary Haematopoiesis
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis is reported in the literature but rare; typically found in the chronic hemolytic anemia. We report a beta-thalassaemia major patient, 11-y-girl, presented with hemothorax. Computed tomographic scan of the thorax showed many paravertebral and extrapulmonary tumors. Biopsy revealed extramedullary haematopoiesis. Hemothorax in beta thalssemia should be suspicion about Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis because surgical intervention is first-line management.
