We report a case of adrenal extramedullary haematopoiesis in a 24-year-old women who presented with pallor and weakness. Ultrasonography of the abdomen detected moderate hepatosplenomegaly with multiple lesions in the spleen and an incidental right adrenal mass. There was no ascites or lymphadenopathy. CT scan revealed a heterogeneous right adrenal mass with multiple non-enhancing lesions in the spleen. Ultrasound guided trucut biopsy was performed after excluding a functioning tumour, which confirmed the diagnosis. Later, she was diagnosed to have haemoglobin E/beta thalassaemia and was put on hydroxyurea trial.
