Abstract:
Hemophilic pseudotumor is an uncommon complication of factor VIII and IX deficiencies in the coagulation cascade and occurs in a wide spectrum of bones and soft tissues. We present a six-year-old boy with hemophilic pseudotumor localized in the right orbit. He showed a favorable response to radiation therapy after unsuccessful treatment with factor VIII replacement therapy with no recurrence till eight months. Radiotherapy in the treatment of pseudotumors in hemophiliacs should be strongly considered, particularly in severely affected patients who do not respond to conservative therapy.

The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
