Accumulated clinical experience has now provided clear and convincing evidence that erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs), alone or in combination with granulocyte-stimulating factor, are efficacious in patients with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Moreover, the relative safety of prolonged use of ESA has resulted in widespread use in patients with MDS. We here report a unique case of presacral mass due to extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH), which was first observed before treatment with ESAs, but which more than doubled in a diameter after 3 years ESA treatment for myelodysplasia. …
