Adrenal extramedullary hematopoiesis in the setting of anti-Diego antibody and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis occurs in the setting of hematologic disorders or malignancies when the activity of the bone marrow is insufficient to generate blood cells. We report a unique case of adrenal extramedullary hematopoiesis diagnosed in a 16 year old female with a history of anti-Diego antibody and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia. She presented with an enlarging adrenal mass and underwent surgical resection. Pathology revealed extramedullary hematopoiesis. On literature review, we identified only two prior existing cases of adrenal extramedullary hematopoiesis in pediatric patients, with no prior case reports of adrenal extramedullary hematopoiesis occurring in patients with anti-Diego antibody or in those with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.
