Summary
A case of ileopsoas hemophilic pseudotumour is presented. Its particularity is a fistula, developed between the pseudotumour and the large bowel, followed later by a second externalized fistula on the abdominal wall. A large abscess involving the pseudotumour and chronic sepsis developed as life-threatening complications. Diversion colostomy with anus praeter and drainage under FVIII substitution resolved the unusual, severe clinical condition after almost 6 years of evolution.
