title: Hemophilic pseudotumor--is there a role of radiotherapy? Literature review and a case report.
abstract: We share the literature and management of an adult with moderate hemophilia a presented with a calcaneal pseudotumor and non healing ulcer by radiation therapy, factor VIII and cryoprecipitate supplement. Numerous literatures so far have quoted the satisfactory role of radiotherapy in hemophilic pseudotumor. We found it to be of great help as our case responded with radiotherapy, factor VIII and cryoprecipitate supplement and has a satisfactory 2 years follow up.
