Adrenal extramedullary hematopoiesis, an entity to consider in the diagnosis of adrenal mass Garazi Elorza-Echaniz Nerea Borda-Aguirrezabalaga Ignacio Aguirre-Allende Ainhoa Andres-Imaz Elisabet Bollo-ArocenaJose Maria Enriquez-Navascues<p>Extramedullary Hematopoiesis (EMH) is frequently seen in the liver, spleen or lymph nodes in patients with hematologic disorders such as beta-thallasemia or hereditary spherocytosis. We report the first case of adrenal hematopoiesis in a patient with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia.</p><p>The patient was a 63 year-old man who was in the study of a thrombocytopenia. A CT and MRI demonstrated a unilateral adrenal mass with multiple splenic lesions.</p><p>The patient underwent right adrenalectomy and splenectomy. Microscopic examination showed extramedullary hematopoiesis in the adrenal gland and spleen.</p><p>The diagnosis of extramedullary hematopoiesis must be considered in any patient with hematologic disorders and thoracic or abdominal mass. An unnecessary procedure could be avoided.</p><p>Palabras clave: Extramedullary hematopoiesis; adrenal mass; adrenal incidentaloma; Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia.</p> Journal of Surgery and Surgical Research - Peertechz Publications 2020-05-07 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-2968.000092 en Copyright © Garazi Elorza-Echaniz et al.
