Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare disorder in which hematopoietic cells proliferate in tissues other than the bone marrow as a result of a range of hematologic illnesses. Our case is unique in that it covers a number of extramedullary hematopoiesis sites in a 15-year-old girl, some of which are uncommon.
