1 Director of Radiology, Lenox Hill Hospital.
2 Director of Hemophilic Center, Lenox Hill Hospital. (Deceased.)
Pseudotumors of bone in hemophilia are especially serious complications.
Their early recognition is extremely important if proper treatment is to be given.
The most important roentgen signs are periosteal reaction and new bone formation, pressure necrosis with bone destruction and a soft tissue mass that may or may not contain calcium deposits.
As a result of radiation therapy, clinical pseudotumor masses shrink in size and sometimes disappear, pain is relieved and functional improvement is achieved.
Late complications and disability may be prevented with newer methods of treatment. The life expectancy of hemophiliacs will be increased, and pseudotumors may be seen more often in the future.
