Hair-on-end appearance is caused by extramedullary hematopoiesis leading to expansion of diploe and perpendicular trabecular pattern. This occurs in severe chronic hemolytic anemias: Thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, and Cooleys anemia (which is actually thalassemia major). Pagets disease shows a cotton-wool appearance with mixed lytic and sclerotic lesions, not the characteristic hair-on-end pattern.
