Abstract
Patients with hemophilia disease have a high risk of hemorrhage. Most hemorrhages
can occur in the musculoskeletal system, presenting as hematomas, or, in rare occasions,
as hemophilic pseudotumors, an uncommon pathology that are often misdiagnosed as musculoskeletal
tumors because of their clinical behavior and characteristics on diagnostic imaging.
Despite many treatment options, surgical excision is the treatment of choice. This
article describes a case of hemophilia A in a patient who suffered from progressive
swelling of the right thigh for 12 months. Diagnostic imaging suggested a hemophilia
pseudotumor with vascular bundle impingement. Surgical excision was successful.
