The percutaneous treatment of limb pseudotumours is a nonaggressive method of treating haemophilic pseudotumours. However, efforts should be directed to the prevention of such pseudotumours by ensuring that all patients receive adequate treatment of their bleeding episodes through education and the elimination of geographical or social barriers that prevent access to such treatment. Prevention of pseudotumours by means of early substitution treatment of muscular bleeding episodes is the best treatment.
