A pseudo-tumour of the mandible in a haemophiliac patient. A case report.
The presence of a rare pseudo-tumour of the mandible in a haemophiliac justifies the presentation of this case in which the history and the clinical and radiological examinations were sufficient for a presumptive diagnosis. The authors present a case of pseudo-tumour of the mandible in a boy, with a history of haemophilia following a traumatic injury. They comment on the clinical and radiological aspects and surgical technique employed. The patient underwent the surgical treatment after the administration of 1000 U. of factor VIII. The whole pseudo-tumour was removed. The postoperative follow up one year after surgery was normal both clinically and radiologically.
