The imaging findings of focal intrahepatic extramedullary haematopoiesis (EMH) in a 51-year-old woman with beta-thalassaemia intermedia are described with particular reference to MRI and CT. Bone marrow colloid scintigraphy was unhelpful in confirming the diagnosis, which was made from fine needle aspiration. This is the first description of stellate scars occurring in an EMH lesion. A review of the radiological appearances of this rare condition is presented.
