[Haemophilic pseudo-tumours and iliac haematomas: radiological and clinical findings (author's transl)].
1978
Between 1971 and 1977, 648 patients with haemophilia were seen; of these 38 had pseudo-tumours and 163 iliac haematomas. Amongst the latter 153 were cured by the administration of the appropriate factor. In ten the symptoms persisted. In the early stages the diagnosis cannot be made radiologically. Large haematomas produce indirect evidence of their presence by displacing the bladder. Particularly with small haematomas, computer tomography has proved a reliable and accurate diagnostic measure. Without treatment, a haemophilic pseudo-tumour may develop. Its radiological differential diagnosis includes malignant and benign bone tumours, inflammatory and parasitic disease. Therapy includes conservative measures (factor concentrates) or operative intervention (removal of the haematoma).
