Abstract
Focal intrahepatic extramedullary hematopoiesis is an extremely unusual condition that can mimic any other solid mass of the liver. Only seven cases have been reported in the literature. Color Doppler ultrasonographic findings of this rare entity have not been described. We report a case of focal mass in a myeloid metaplastic patient diagnosed as focal extramedullary hematopoiesis. Color Doppler findings of this rare condition are described and compared with computed tomography features.
