Abstract
Hemophilic pseudotumor (HP) is rare, seen in 1-2% of patients with hemophilia, and is extremely uncommon in the mandible. A 6-year-old boy with moderate hemophilia A presented to our hospital with left mandibular swelling. Based on clinical and radiological findings, a tentative diagnosis of HP was made. After factor VIII administration, the lesion was curetted and HP was confirmed on histopathology. The patient was treated with twice-weekly factor VIII until the lesion had completely resolved and bone had regenerated at 1 year. The best treatment for HP is not established; however, appropriate initial treatment and postoperative prophylaxis are effective.Entities:
