Pseudotumor of hemophilia of the thumb

Computed tomography is efficient at detecting bone destruction and soft tissue lesions including daughter cysts, while the number, size and extent of the lesion, neurovascular involvement and musculoskeletal deformities can all be determined accurately using MRI.1 Magnetic resonance imaging of the p...

Description
Summary:Computed tomography is efficient at detecting bone destruction and soft tissue lesions including daughter cysts, while the number, size and extent of the lesion, neurovascular involvement and musculoskeletal deformities can all be determined accurately using MRI.1 Magnetic resonance imaging of the present case showed a cortical break, volar bulging and a complicated hemorrhage that was associated with a fluid-fluid level and internal septations (Figure 2). [...]PTH is a rare complication of hemophilia that is also seen in non-hemophilic patients. The clinical, radiological and histopathological features vary widely and require exclusion of differential diagnoses. [...]each case of PTH should be managed individually.
