A kidney mass in a 63-year-old woman was diagnosed as extramedullary hematopoiesis via fine-needle aspiration, avoiding surgery. This finding, linked to myelofibrosis, remained stable over 24 months.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Hematology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • A 63-year-old woman presented with anemia and a left kidney mass, prompting investigation.
  • Distinguishing renal masses requires accurate diagnostic approaches to guide appropriate management.

Observation:

  • A guided fine-needle aspiration was performed on the left kidney mass.
  • The aspiration procedure provided crucial diagnostic information regarding the nature of the renal mass.

Findings:

  • The kidney mass was diagnosed as extramedullary hematopoiesis.
  • Subsequent bone marrow biopsy confirmed the presence of myelofibrosis.
  • The renal mass demonstrated stability over a 24-month follow-up period.

Implications:

  • Fine-needle aspiration can be a valuable tool in diagnosing extramedullary hematopoiesis, potentially avoiding unnecessary surgical intervention for renal masses.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering extramedullary hematopoiesis as a differential diagnosis for renal masses, particularly in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
  • Accurate diagnosis and monitoring are crucial for managing patients with extramedullary hematopoiesis and myelofibrosis.
