Surgical excision of a giant pelvic pseudotumour in a patient with haemophilia A.
The development of pseudotumors represents one of the most challenging complications facing physicians who care for patients with hemophilia. The successful removal of the giant pseudotumor described in this case report was achieved by a multidisciplinary team and demonstrates that this approach, albeit associated with significant risk, may be curative.
