RESUMO
A rare condition of massive intrathoracic extramedullary haematopoiesis causing spinal cord compression is presented in a 17-year-old Saudi male. Both clinical and laboratory findings, together with the computed tomographic evaluation of the lesion are described. Partial surgical resection as an alternative to radiotherapy has resulted in a dramatic response.
