Objectives: Haemophilic pseudotumour (HP) is an extremely rare lesion. The purpose of this study was to describe the CT and MRI features of the maxillary bone HPs and introduce the key points to differentiate HP from the mimicking entities in the region.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed three paediatric patients with histology-proven HPs arising from the maxillary bone. All three patients underwent CT and (or) MRI. Combined with six previously reported cases in the literature, the imaging features were comprehensively analysed.Results: All HPs showed a well-demarcated, multilobulated, expansile osteolytic lesion in the maxillary bone. On non-enhanced CT, HPs appeared of mixed density relative to grey matter. The lesions appeared to have markedly heterogeneous signal intensity on both T(1) and T(2) weighted images, with septa-like enhancement following the administration of contrast material, which corresponded to blood products in various stages of evolution. The lesions caused cortical thinning even focal disappearing and multiple bone septa were identified within the involved maxillary bone. Some HPs were associated with radiated periosteal proliferation, which can easily be misdiagnosed as a malignant bone tumour.Conclusion: A high index of suspicion for HP and a familiarity with imaging findings may help to accurately diagnose this rare entity. |
