Abstract
We report a #clinicalcase of #hereditary #spherocytosis in the view of
it´s educational value. The diagnose was overlooked for many years while
the patient was a regular blood donor. This was probably the stress
factor that precipitated the development of extramedullary
#haematopoiesis
in a patient that otherwise had a rather mild phenotype. The authors
want to stress the importance of valuing the red cell indexes as an
informative part of the #hemogram. A 59-year old female patient was referred to the lymphoma department.
The patient's previous medical history was unremarkable. Symptoms
started after she had an accidental fall on her back, and she was in
need of analgesics for some time because of back #pain. Eventually she
consulted her family physician who ordered a thorax CT scan suspecting a
#spinefracture.
