Extramedullary hematopoiesis is manifested by several clinical hematological disorders. Its localization to presacral space as mass is extremely rare. We report one such case in a patient with hereditary spherocytosis. In the appropriate clinical setting when the imaging appearances are typical, biopsy may not be necessary for diagnosis.
