A large accumulation of extramedullary hematopoiesis may occur at the paravertebral area, mediastinum, spleen and liver. Intrarenal extramedullary hematopoiesis is rare.Only a few cases have been reported of myelofibrosis and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. We report a cases of intrarenal extramedullary hematopoiesis that mimicked a renal tumor. A 23 year-old man which is known case of osteopetrosis presented with pancytopenia and abdominal mass.
