    Intrathoracic extra-medullary hematopoiesis, a compensatory process in thalassemia, can manifest in the chest. This case highlights its fortuitous discovery in the mediastinum, confirmed by CT and biopsy.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Thoracic Medicine
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Intrathoracic extra-medullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is a known compensatory mechanism.
    • It is most commonly associated with chronic hemolytic anemias, particularly thalassemia.

    Observation:

    • A case of multiple, unexpected mediastinal localizations of EMH is presented.
    • The patient's condition was incidentally discovered.

    Findings:

    • Computed Tomography (CT) was instrumental in diagnosing the mediastinal masses.
    • Percutaneous biopsy confirmed the presence of extra-medullary hematopoiesis.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of EMH presentation in the thorax.
