Abstract
In young patients with haemophilia, blood cysts in the finger bones may grow rapidly and imitate a malignant tumour (pseudo tumour). The condition must initially be treated with administration of factor VIII-IX. If this does not control the growth, surgical treatment is indicated. We have advised a percutaneous treatment with evacuation of the blood and injection of the cavity with fibrin seal.
Résumé
Chez les jeunes patients hémophiles les kystes sanguins des os digitaux peuvent se développer rapidement et évoluer comme une tumeur maligne (pseudotumeur). Le traitement initial doit être l› administration de Facteur VIII-IX. Si cela ne contrôle pas l’augmentation de volume, le traitement chirurgical est indiqué. Nous recommandons un traitement percutané avec évacuation du sang et injection de la cavité de dérivé de fibrine.
