Haemophilic pseudotumors are rare, encased hematomas in patients with haemophilia. This report details a unique case of a cranial haemophilic pseudotumor, a third documented instance globally.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Haemophilic pseudotumors are rare, encapsulated hematomas resulting from recurrent bleeding in patients with haemophilia.
  • They typically occur in 1-2% of individuals with moderate to severe Factor VIII or IX deficiency.
  • The most common sites are the long bones of the lower extremities and the pelvis.

Observation:

  • A 21-year-old male with moderate Factor VIII deficiency (19% activity) presented with a cranial pseudotumor.
  • This represents a highly unusual location for this rare complication of haemophilia.

Findings:

  • The patient's pseudotumor developed progressively due to recurrent hemorrhages.
  • Diagnostic evaluation confirmed the presence of an encased hematoma within the cranium.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for haemophilic pseudotumors to occur in extraskeletal sites, including the cranial vault.
  • It underscores the importance of considering rare complications in the management of haemophilia patients.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of cranial haemophilic pseudotumors is warranted.
