Hemophilic pseudotumor involving the spine is extremely uncommon and presents a challenging problem. Preoperative planning, angiography, intra and perioperative monitoring with factor VIII cover and postoperative care for hemophilic pseudotumor is vital. Recognition of the artery of Adamkiewicz in the thoracolumbar junction helps to avoid intraoperative neurological injury. We report the case of a 26-year-old male patient with hemophilia A, who presented with a massive pseudotumor involving the first lumbar vertebra and the left iliopsoas. Preoperative angiography revealed the artery of Adamkiewicz arising from the left first lumbar segmental artery. Excision of pseudotumor was successfully carried out with additional spinal stabilization. At 2 years followup, there was no recurrence and the patient was well stabilized with a satisfactory functional status. Surgical excision gives satisfactory outcome in such cases.

Patients with hemophilia disease have a high risk of hemorrhage. Most hemorrhages can occur in the musculoskeletal system, presenting as hematomas, or, in rare occasions, as hemophilic pseudotumors, an uncommon pathology that are often misdiagnosed as musculoskeletal tumors because of their clinical behavior and characteristics on diagnostic imaging. Despite many treatment options, surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Aim: Hemophilic pseudotumor (HP) is a very rare complication of hemophilia seen in only 1-2% of the cases. Although it is much more common in long bones, pelvis and small bones of hands and feet and very rarely involving jaw bones.
Method And Result: In the present case, the presence of a rare hemophilic pseudotumor of the mandible with the positive history of Hemophilia B justifies that the history, clinical and radiological examinations were sufficient to arrive at conclusive diagnosis precluding invasive diagnostic procedures such as biopsy hence avoiding the risk of hemorrhage, infection, or fistula.

Hemophilic pseudotumor (HP) is a rarely encountered cystic mass that forms as a result of repeated bleeding from extra-articular soft tissues. HP cases have been previously documented in several locations in the body, most commonly in the femur and pelvis. To date, no upper extremity case involving the bilateral forearms has been reported.

Patients with Haemophilia (PWH) need orthopaedic treatments and often they undergo surgery. Classically, PWH with inhibitors have to face such procedures earlier than other patients. Major orthopaedic surgery is not easy and complications are frequent.
