چکیده
The authors reported the case of a 25-year-old man who complained of pain in the left flank. The sonography exam suspected an abcess more than an hematoma of the left psoas muscle. Urgent surgery did not find the abcess. The biology pointed out a moderate form of haemophilia, Type A. The bedrest and the dressings were efficient on the patient. Follow-up sonography exams revealed a liquefaction of the hematoma. The clinical evolution was right. Categories: Internal Medicine
