Abstract
Extramedullary haematopoiesis (EMH), which may occur in various types of haemodyscrasia and dyshaematopoiesis, is generally seen in the sple en, liver and lymph nodes, but rarely within the cranium. This is a ca se of intracranial EMH in a patient with secondary myelofibrosis which developed after the treatment of polycythaemia rubra vera.
