Pelvic haemophilic pseudotumour in a patient with haemophilia

Giant haemophilic pseudotumour of the pelvis: case report and literature review

“…Because they can develop slowly and painlessly deep in soft tissue, pseudotumours of the pelvis may be very large when first detected and generally do not respond to conservative management [2]. Four cases of large pelvic pseudotumours have been published within the past 10 years [2][3][4][5], but only one involved a patient with severe haemophilia [5] haemophilia severity was not stated in one case [3]. Destruction of the ilium was noted in all four cases, but none was managed using compound osteosynthesis [2][3][4][5].…”

Destruction of the ilium was noted in all four cases, but none was managed using compound osteosynthesis [2][3][4][5]. The two reports in patients with mild or moderate haemophilia A described good outcomes following surgical excision of the pseudotumours [2,4]; the patient with severe haemophilia A also underwent successful surgical excision with no pseudotumour recurrence.…”
