title: Hemophilic pseudotumors of the mandible.
abstract: Three patients with hemophilic pseudotumors of the mandible were described and the treatment of the lesions was discussed. Surgical intervention, accompanied by adequate clotting factor replacement, was used in all three cases with satisfactory results. Pseudotumors of the jaws are a rare but serious complication of hemophilia. The cause of the mandibular lesion can be intraosseous hemorrhage, soft tissue hemorrhage with periosteal stripping and subperiosteal hematoma formation, or a combination of these factors. Surgical management with adequate replacement of clotting factor and the use of EACA is an effective method of treatment.
