چکیده
Repeated bleeding into the joints often occurs in the first decade of life in patients with hemophilia. Joint degeneration is progressive, and although early treatment can slow the process, destruction of the joint is unavoidable. Hemophilic pseudotumors (HPT) are developed due to recurrent bleeding from extra-articular bone or soft tissues.
