Computed tomography in hemophilic pseudotumor.
Computed tomography was used in 4 cases of hemophilic pseudotumor. Three of the patients were operated upon. The method proved to make the differential diagnosis safe and to yield valuable information on the extent of the lesion and the involvement of the skeleton and contiguous organs. The information facilitated the decision whether surgery was indicated and the planning of the operation as well as the follow-up of the conservatively treated case.
