| Abstract |
Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is hematopoiesis in organs outside the bone marrow and most frequently occurs in the liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. We report a case of perirenal EMH revealed by kidney biopsy in a patient with primary myelofibrosis. We observed only bilateral kidney enlargement with plain computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography before obtaining a renal biopsy. We obtained a percutaneous biopsy from the lower pole of the left kidney using ultrasonographic guidance. Ultrasonography just after the renal biopsy revealed no bleeding around the kidney. However, early the next morning, the patient developed severe hemorrhagic shock. Contrast-enhanced CT at that time revealed a massive hematoma in the left posterior perirenal space and bilateral abnormalities of the perirenal soft tissues. In patients with primary myelofibrosis, if plain CT shows an abnormal renal enlargement, EMH should be considered. In addition, a contrast-enhanced CT should be obtained before performing a percutaneous renal biopsy to assess for the possibility of perirenal EMH in these patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 February 2023.
All research outputs
#13,760,392
of 23,332,901 outputs
Outputs from CEN Case Reports
#58
of 255 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#161,128
of 316,819 outputs
Outputs of similar age from CEN Case Reports
#3
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,332,901 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 255 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,819 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
