Hemarthrosis: an unusual complication of type 1 neurofibromatosis.
Type 1 neurofibromatosis is one of the most common autosomal-dominant disorders and often includes orthopedic manifestations. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with hemarthrosis caused by a popliteal cyst infiltrated by a diffuse neurofibroma associated with angiodysplasia. Surgical resection of this tumor was followed by postoperative hemorrhagic complications.
