Final diagnosis: Subperiosteal hemophilic Pseudotumor Discussion Anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of the left forearm demonstrate (Fig. 1) expansile subperiosteal lytic bone lesions that extend into the soft tissue, associated with diffuse cortical thinning, subperiosteal scalloped erosion of the radius, and radiating trabeculae with periosteal reaction. Imaging findings also indicate the presence of calcifications with a curvilinear pattern in the periphery of soft tissues in the medial proximal radius and bone remodeling in the distal ulna. The original version of this article which can be found at https://doi.org/ 10.1007/s00256-020-03591-w is missing figures 4, 5, and 6. To avoid any misinterpretation, the whole article is published below in full with the corrected data. * Julio Brandão Guimaraes [email protected]; [email protected] 1

MRI findings (Fig. 2) show a large encapsulated subperiosteal soft tissue mass surrounding the radius, with distinct signal intensities on both T1- and T2-weighted images, including spontaneous high signal intensity on T1, suggesting different stages of hemorrhage. Furthermore, the interosseous space is widened due to the dimension of the soft tissue mass. Postcontrast imaging did not reveal any solid areas, exhibiting a predominant peripheral enhancement distribution pattern. MRI angiography findings (Fig. 3) showan active filling of a cystic cavity within the lesion, suggesting an intracystic hemorrhage that had been actively bleeding. The pathology of the biopsy sample confirmed the content of the pseudocyst’s cavities, which were filled with hemorrhagic and fibrinoid content (Fig. 4), as well as negative for atypical cells. Subsequently, the patient underwent surgery with curettage and iliac bone grafting, which was shortened by a massive bleeding of the donor site for the graft (Fig. 5). After a severe drop in hemoglobin, coagulation tests for factor VIII deficiency were carried out, and the patient was diagnosed with typeA hemophilia. Pathology findings, along with the newly uncovered history of type A hemophilia, are consistent with the diagnosis of a hemophilic
