Massive Soft Tissue Haemophilic Pseudotumor in Limbs: Lessons Learnt from an Extremely Rare Problem

Haemophilic pseudotumors are very rare, encapsulated haematomas forms as a result of repetitive bleeding, forming a mass of clotted blood and necrosed tissue. Reported experience in the literature is limited to case reports and case series from around the world, reporting on smaller and medium sized pseudotumors. Conflicting opinion exists following failed medical management, which includes minimally invasive interventions through extensive surgery. We present our experience with the management of two of the largest soft tissue pseudotumors reported in the literature. We also provide some guidance, based on our experiences, for the future management of massive haemophilic pseudotumors.
