Hemophilic pseudotumor-is there a role of radiotherapy? A case report with review of literature.

Hemophilic pseudotumors are a rare but serious complication. They are more common in the weight-bearing joints. These lesions could be treated by conservative measures using factor VIII cryoprecipitate or by radiation therapy as an alternative to surgery with good results. We present a case of chronic hemophilia with pseudotumor of the right knee joint who was treated with low dose external beam radiation with fair results.
