Abstract
Primary myelofibrosis is one of the entities that may manifest with lesions of extramedullary haematopoiesis, especially in spleen and liver. The authors report a case of primary myelofibrosis presenting incidentally as an intrahepatic focal lesion of extramedullary haematopoiesis, a rare occurrence that highlights the challenge of hepatic nodule differential diagnosis, and allows reflection about the diagnostic criteria and prognostic factors of this myeloproliferative disease.Entities:
