# Extramedullary Hematopoiesis in Gastric Mucosa

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of blood cell production in the stomach lining of a woman with a treated blood disorder.

## Contribution

The study presents a rare case of extramedullary hematopoiesis in gastric mucosa, adding to a very limited case series.

## Key findings

- Extramedullary hematopoiesis was observed in the gastric mucosa of a 68-year-old female with treated osteomyelofibrosis.
- The digestive system is an uncommon site for EMH, and the gastric mucosa is particularly rare, with only 12 cases reported.

## Abstract

In this paper, pathohistological images of extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) in stomach mucosa in a 68-year-old female patient with treated osteomyelofibrosis are presented. The digestive system is a potential but uncommon site of EMH, with the gastric mucosa being particularly rare. According to the available literature, only 12 cases have been described.
