El pseudotumor hemofílico se define como un hematoma encapsulado que aumenta de volumen de forma progresiva por episodios de hemorragia recurrente. Es una complicación poco frecuente de la hemofilia que se presenta en el 1–2% de los pacientes con déficit moderado o grave de Factor VIII o IX. Se localiza con más frecuencia en los huesos largos de extremidades inferiores y pelvis. Presentamos el caso clínico de un varón de 21 años de edad con déficit moderado de Factor VIII (19% de actividad de factor VIII) que desarrolló un pseudotumor en el cráneo. Hemos encontrado únicamente tres casos de pseudotumor hemofílico craneal descritos en la literatura médica.
The haemophilic pseudotumor is defined as an encased hematoma that increases of volume progressively by episodes of recurrent hemorrhage. It is a rare complication of haemophilia occurring in 1–2% of patients with moderate or severe factor Vlll or IX deficiency. Its more frequent location is in the long bones of low extremities and pelvis. We report a case of a 21-year-old man with moderate deficiency of factor VIII (19% of normal factor VIII activity) that developed a pseudotumor in the cranium. To our knowledge, this is the third case of the cranial hemophilic pseudotumor in medical literature.
