On the natural history of hemophilic pseudotumor
AK Ahlberg
Seven cases of hemophilic pseudotumor were followed for at least ten years.
Apparently adequate and early substitution therapy for bleeding in muscles
and skeleton will prevent the occurrence of such pseudotumors. Conservative
treatment of established pseudotumors with substitution therapy at bleeding
symptoms is advocated, but in the event of continued growth of the
pseudotumor and threatened perforation, radical extirpation may have to be
done.
