摘要
We report the case of a 45-year-old man with thalassemia major referred for a bone scan as a workup for generalized bone pain. 99mTc-MDP SPECT CT showed multiple elongated soft tissue masses along the inner aspects of ribs and along both sides of dorsal spine with calcification and mild tracer uptake. There was also a large lobulated presacral soft tissue mass displacing the bladder and involving the adjacent pelvic bone. Biopsy of mildly avid tracer uptake in pelvic soft tissue mass was extramedullary hematopoiesis confirmed by biopsy. © Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.
