Extramedullary haematopoeisis (EMH) is seen in chronic hemolytic anemia’s .EMH commonly occurs in the reticuloendothelial system like the liver and spleen which potentially produce fetal hemoglobin. It is rarely seen in organs like brain, lungs, pleura, breast, gastrointestinal tissue tract, kidney and the adrenal glands and in paraspinal region. EMH in adrenal gland is extremely rare. We report a case of 21 year old female, known case of thalassemia major presenting with facial swelling and generalized weakness found to have hepatosplenomegaly, cellular marrow and extramedullary haematopoiesis in bilateral paraspinal region and in right adrenal gland.
