Notes:
Pseudotumour is a rare complication of haemophilia; it has previously been reported in patients with moderate or severe haemophilia and rarely in mild disease. We report a case of a proximal pseudotumour occurring in a 36-year-old patient with mild von Willebrand disease (vWD) who made a good recovery with conservative management. Surgery has been advocated as the optimal treatment for proximal pseudotumours due to the risk of continued bleeding and progression. However, in mild haemophilia or vWD, where the risk of spontaneous bleeds is low, conservative management may be an appropriate alternative.
