Patient Data
Age: 40
Gender: Male
From the case:
Beta thalassemia major
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/34878/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
The visualized skeletal structures are diffusely osteopenic, with expansion of the medullary spaces and a lace-like trabecular pattern. There is no evidence of extramedullary hematopoiesis.
Note is made of previous splenectomy and cholecystectomy.
From the case:
Beta thalassemia major

The visualized skeletal structures are diffusely osteopenic, with expansion of the medullary spaces and a lace-like trabecular pattern.
Case Discussion
The findings in this case are typical of thalassemia, with marrow proliferation leading to expansion of all medullary spaces creating a lace-like trabecular pattern due to severe chronic anemia.
