Effectiveness of Single-Fraction, Low-Dose, Bilateral Whole Lung Radiation Therapy for Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage Secondary to Extramedullary Hematopoiesis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is an uncommon phenomenon that arises following inadequate blood cell production from the bone marrow. Bone marrow dysfunction can be caused by several etiologies including various hereditary genetic hematologic abnormalities (e.g. thalassemia), hemolytic anemias, certain infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders (e.g. ITP), primary myelofibrosis, and myeloproliferative neoplasms (e.g. polycythemia vera, essential thrombocytopenia, chronic myeloid leukemia, and primary myelofibrosis).
