Abstract
Although extramedullary haemopoiesis (EMH) is relatively common in mye lofibrosis, it is seldom symptomatic and rarely involves the intestina l tract. We report a case in which perirectal infiltrate resulted in c linically symptomatic constipation. The barium enema showed tubular re ctal narrowing with mucosal pleating. On computed tomography a poorly marginated soft tissue mass was shown to be replacing the perirectal f at.
