Abstract
A case of extramedullary haemopoiesis of the hypophysis of a female beagle dog is reported. An investigation by electron microscopy confirmed the presence of cells from the erythroid and myeloid series. This finding was thought to represent prolonged postnatal haemopoiesis in an unusual location.
