Abstract

Hemophilic pseudotumor is a rare complication occurring in 1–2% of cases and resulting from a recurrent chronic muscle hematoma. We describe a clinical case of a child suffering from hemophilia type A who was admitted with a forearm mass, interpreted as a pseudotumor. However, histological examination of the mass revealed a rare aggressive CIC-rearranged sarcoma. The patient's parents gave consent to the use of their child's data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.
