  • Title: Cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis following splenectomy for idiopathic myelofibrosis.
    Author: Hocking WG, Lazar GS, Lipsett JA, Busuttil RW.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1984 May; 76(5):956-8. PubMed ID: 6720738.
    Abstract:
    A 50-year-old man with idiopathic myelofibrosis had development of extensive cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis after undergoing splenectomy. Treatment with hydroxyurea was not effective, but electron-beam irradiation controlled the cutaneous infiltration. This rare clinical manifestation of idiopathic myelofibrosis can be confused with cellulitis, and diagnosis depends upon biopsy.
