J Surg Case Rep. 2012 Aug 1;2012(8):17. doi: 10.1093/jscr/2012.8.17.

Abstract

Extramedullary haemopoiesis (EMH) is the abnormal development and growth of haemopoietic tissue outside the bone marrow. It is usually asymptomatic and occurs in the presence of myelodysplastic syndromes. In this report, we describe the first post-traumatic EMH presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms.
