  • Title: Hodgkin lymphoma with co-existing extramedullary haematopoiesis in a Thalasaemia Major patient: Killing two birds with one stone using PET-CT.
    Author: Ahad Aziz Qureshi PA, Razi M, Rehman A, Hassan A.
    Journal: J Pak Med Assoc; 2019 Jul; 69(7):1059. PubMed ID: 31983750.
    Abstract:
    Hodgkin lymphoma is a high grade lymphoma which is usually confined to the lymphnodes. Extranodal involvement of the Hodgkin lymphoma is uncommon but any organ can be involved.. Extramedullary haematopoiesis is the production of red cells outside the medullary cavity in response to failure of erythrogenesis in bone marrow which can occur due to many diseases with thalassaemia and myelofibrosis being most common. We present a case of a 21 year old patient who underwent PET-CT scan for the staging of Hodgkin lymphoma and revealed co-existing extramedullary haematopoiesis secondary to known thalassaemia.
