Although rare, haemophilic pseudotumours are potentially life-and limb-threatening and occur more frequently in countries where access to factor concentrates is limited. In this case study, conservative treatment and initiating low-dose prophylaxis have so far been effective in managing a paediatric case of pseudotumour of both thumbs© Shutterstock
