Cranial hemophilic pseudotumor. Case report.
Hemophilic pseudotumor is a rare complication of hemophilia occurring in 1% to 2% of individuals with a severe factor VIII or IX deficiency. This pseudotumor has been defined as a progressive cystic swelling involving muscle that is produced by recurrent hemorrhage and may be accompanied by roentgenographic evidence of bone involvement. The case is presented of a 12-month-old child with mild factor VIII deficiency (10% of normal factor VIII activity), who developed a pseudotumor of the skull.
