J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1988 Sep-Oct;12(5):878-80. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198809010-00032.

Abstract

Intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare neoplasm that is most often asymptomatic and usually discovered during a screening examination for another problem. We present a case of intrathoracic extramedullary hematopoiesis in a patient with homozygous sickle cell disease with CT and magnetic resonance correlation.
