ABSTRACT

Haemophilic pseudotumor results from multiple episodes of hemorrhage into the bones or soft tissue spaces. It is uncommon and is seen only in severe cases of haemophilia. Complications and symptoms arise due to pain and/or compression of the surrounding structures. Pathologic fractures can be associated with intraosseous lesions and can result from bone destruction or resortion due to the chronic pressure of an osseous hemorrhage. Radiographs may demonstrate an expansile lesion or an extraosseous lesion. Bleeding may also occur within the joint space. These intra-articular haemorrhages can over time, become expansile. The case of a 13-year-old boy with a haemophilic pseudotumor of the metacarpal is presented.
