Abstract

Hematopoiesis is an enormous and complex process. When the primary site of hematopoiesis fails to meet the requirements of the body in conditions like hemoglobinopathies or myelofibrosis, various extramedullary sites take on the role of blood formation. Extramedullary hematopoiesis most commonly occurs in the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes and is rarely found in the thymus, heart, breast, adrenal glands, paravertebral regions, intraspinal tissue, and brain. Extramedullary hematopoiesis can mimic neoplasms in which symptoms are caused by the mass effect of the lesion. We report a rare case of a 41-year-old female patient with a fibrohematopoietic adrenal mass mimicking a neoplasm for which she underwent an adrenalectomy.
