A 32-year-old man with severe haemophilia A referred to our Clinic with a massive right iliac wing pseudotumour complicated by Staphylococcus aureus superinfection and skin fistulisation. In this report we describe the medical management and surgical treatment by the adoption of a novel surgical technique which involves the use of a pedicle-screw and rod system (PSRS), a polyglycolic acid MESH and bone cement in order to build up an artificial ilium-like bony mass. This case report highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approach and the efficacy of eradicating surgery as treatment, especially in the case of large and long-lasting lesions.
