Q: Are methods the author uses adequate and well used?

A: Good

Discussion & Conclusion

Q: Is it related to the results presented before? Do you consider them as coherent?

A: Good

Comments: The Discussion supports the rarity of the haemophilic pseudotumors by mentioning the subtypes known, providing relevant literature. It also highlights the importance of surgery with other combination approaches in the management of pseudotumors. The Conclusion suggests multidisciplinary techniques for managing the two largest limb haemophilic pseudotumor as reported in this manuscript.

Comments: There are few issues found in the manuscript which are as follows:

·       In Abstract, 3^rd sentence, “minimally invasive interventions through to extensive surgery” must be written as “minimally invasive interventions through extensive surgery”.

·       Under Introduction, 5^th sentence, “Reported experience in the literature is limited to case reports and cases series from around the world” should be written as  “Reported experience in the literature is limited to case reports and case series from around the world”.

Further comments on the paper

Comments: The Case Report presents 2 incidents of individuals with massive soft tissue haemophilic pseudotumor in limbs. The clinical diagnosis and surgical interventions are well provided. This puts forth the rarity of the case and the management procedure of the soft tissue pseudotumor.

Q: Would you recommend this manuscript for further publication?

A: Yes - Suitable to be published

If you have any questions and clarifications you can write to the journal.
