Hemophilic pseudotumor of the mandible. Report of a case.
Hemophilic pseudotumor of bone is a rarely encountered lesion associated with hemophilia. To date, only eight cases in the mandible have been reported in the literature. A rare case occurring in the mandible of a 2 1/2-year-old child required the fabrication of a customized wound obturator for postoperative wound care after surgical curettage. The literature is reviewed and the obturator described.
