The Angiographic Findings in a Haemophilic Pseudotumour of Bone

The angiographic findings in a patient with haemophilic pseudotumour of the femur are presented. The examination showed the position of the displaced femoro-poplited vessels, enabling these structures to be avoided at operation. Under anti-haemophilic globulin cover no complications occurred. It is suggested that angiography may be safely employed provided the coagulation defect is controlled. The examination may be useful in differentiating other bone lesions and in defining more clearly the extent of a haemophilic pseudotumour.
