Pseudotumours, or muscular haematomas, are becoming less common due to maintenance therapy. Early diagnosis and prevention are crucial, as treatment is complex and carries significant risks.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Pseudotumours, often presenting as muscular haematomas, pose significant clinical challenges.
  • Their incidence is expected to decrease with advancements in maintenance therapy for underlying conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence, diagnosis, and management of pseudotumours.
  • To highlight the complexities and potential complications associated with pseudotumour treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current therapeutic alternatives including surgical removal, percutaneous management, irradiation, and embolization.
  • Emphasis on the multidisciplinary approach required for complex cases.

Main Results:

  • Surgical excision is the preferred treatment but requires specialized centers and teams.

  • Potential postoperative complications include mortality, infection, pathological fractures, and fistulization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis and prevention of muscular haematomas are key to reducing pseudotumour incidence.
    • Management is complex, necessitating expert care in major hemophilia centers to mitigate severe complications.
