Abstract

Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a common compensatory phenomenon to chronic hemolytic anemias. It may be seen in many other conditions including bloody dyscrasias such as leukemia, or as an incidental finding. Common locations of the extramedullary hematopoiesis are liver, spleen, lymph nodes. Spinal cord compression is a rare complication of this entity. We report a spinal cord compression due to extramedullary hematopoiesis. Clinical presentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic options are discussed.
