Abstract

MENDOZA-QUISPE, Daniel et al. Surgical management of a retroperitoneal hemophilic pseudotumor: Report of a case. Acta méd. Peru [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.3, pp.184-188. ISSN 1728-5917.

The hemophilic pseudotumor is a very rare complication occurring in patients with severe hemophilia, and its management has not been standardized yet. We present the case of a 33-year old male patient who was admitted to the surgery ward in Dos de Mayo Hospital in Lima, Peru, who presented with a tumoral mass located in the left iliac fossa, which was painful when palpated, and it was associated with gait alterations. When the mass was excised, a giant hemophilic pseudotumor located in the retroperitoneum was identified. This is the first case describing the management of a hemophilic pseudotumor in our country, with satisfactory results at 12 months after surgery.
