Summary. Pseudotumours are a rare complication of haemophilia. Surgery undertaken for pseudotumour on a lesion that is subsequently found to be malignant can be expected to adversely affect patient outcome. We present six case reports found from a literature search of patients with haemophilia who underwent surgery on what was a primary malignancy misdiagnosed as a pseudotumour and give a subsequent discussion.
