Abstract

The authors describe a rare case of spontaneous haemothorax in a 19-year-old woman suffering from beta-thalassaemia major which developed as a result of extramedullary haematopoiesis. In intrathoracic disorders of obscure origin they recommend therefore to make first a cytological examination of the punctate to prevent unnecessary surgery.
