Abstract:
In young patients with haemophilia, blood cysts in the finger bones may grow rapidly and imitate a malignant tumour (pseudo tumour). The condition must initially be treated with administration of factor VIII-IX. If this does not control the growth, surgical treatment is indicated. We have advised a percutaneous treatment with evacuation of the blood and injection of the cavity with fibrin seal.
