ABSTRACT |
Hemophilic pseudotumor is an uncommon, but characteristic complication of hemophilia occurring in 1% to 2% of individuals with a severe factor VIII or IX deficiency. Most of these lesions are located in the long bones and the pelvis. The authors describe a case of cranial hemophilic pseudotumor in a patient who presented with symptoms of headache and palpable mass on the occipital area. He was a 22 years old man with a two year history of severe factor VIII deficiency. |
