Pelvic haemophilic pseudotumour occurring in a patient with mild haemophilia: a brief report.
Haemophilic pseudotumour is a rare but well-recognized complication of moderate and severe haemophilia, particularly in patients who have developed a factor VIII inhibitor. It has only been reported in haemophiliacs with factor VIII or IX levels less than 5%. We report a patient with mild haemophilia (factor VIII 11%, factor IX 78%) who developed a pelvic pseudotumour that was successfully treated with a novel surgical technique and who has no evidence of recurrence five years after operation.
