Abstract
Introduction
Hemophilic pseudotumor is a rare complication occurring in patients with hemophilia, frequently seen in the femur, tibia, pelvic bones, iliac bones, or rarely in the maxillofacial region.
Case report
A 7-year-old male reported with a spontaneous extra-oral swelling that was managed with pre-operative transfusion of factor IX along with curettage of the lesion. Our report presents only the fourth case in literature wherein this tumor presented in a patient with hemophilia B.
Finding
Hemophilic pseudotumor is a rare entity in the maxillofacial region. High degree of suspicion is required for diagnosis, and close coordination between the medical and surgical teams aids in management.
