title = "Cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis following splenectomy for idiopathic myelofibrosis",
abstract = "A 50-year-old man with idiopathic myelofibrosis had development of extensive cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis after undergoing splenectomy. Treatment with hydroxyurea was not effective, but electron-beam irradiation controlled the cutaneous infiltration. This rare clinical manifestation of idiopathic myelofibrosis can be confused with cellulitis, and diagnosis depends upon biopsy.",
