case_images: MRI of the dorsal spine: (a) sagittal T2-weighted, (b) axial T1-weighted images with contrast showing posterior epidural multilobulated extramedullary hematopoietic mass from T2 to T9 (arrows) with the largest at T5 causing the most prominent cord compression and showing no contrast enhancement.

case_images: T2 to T9, with the most prominent cord compression at T5 level. These masses are isointense to bone marrow and show no significant enhancement suggestive of extramedullary hematopoiesis (Figure 1).
case_images: Follow up MRI of the spine after blood transfusion: (a) sagittal T2-weighted, (b) sagittal T1-weighted, (c) coronal T1-weighted images showing interval reduction in cord compression.
