Iliopsoas haemophiliac pseudotumours with bowel fistulation

Two cases of iliopsoas haemophilic pseudotumours are presented. In one patient a fistula developed between a pseudotumour and the large bowel. This resulted in an abscess involving the pseudotumour and adjacent tissues. It resolved after 5 years of therapy involving percutaneous drainage and closure of the fistula. The second patient had a massive pseudotumour that had obstructed both ureters. Later he suffered a fatal mixed Gram negative septicaemia probably related to erosion into the colon.
