Extramedullary Hematopoiesis (EMH) In A Cervical Lymph Node of A 24-Year-Old Female, A Rare Case
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Small foci of extramedullary hematopoiesis can be a normal finding in the lymph nodes of infants and children. However, the presence of large foci of extramedullary hematopoiesis(EMH) in children or the presence of any degree of EMH in lymph nodes in adults is an abnormal finding. Hereditary disorders of red blood cells and chronic myeloproliferative disorders are the usual causes in children and adults respectively. Proliferation of bone marrow elements in a lymph node, in a patient with no known hematologic disorder, should trigger immediate bone marrow evaluation, as this could be the first clue in diagnosing underlying bone marrow disorder.
