Extramedullary marrow transplantation results in the formation of a nodule of hematopoietically active marrow encapsulated by a shell of bone. The site of choice for such implants is the loose subcutaneous tissue such as that of the abdominal wall; the high rate of success and the easy accessibility makes these implants a useful model for the study of the histophysiology of the marrow.
