Abstract
Background: The formation of destructive pseudotumors is a well-documented, albeit rare, complication of total hip arthroplasties. They tend to be progressive and, if left untreated, can result in extensive periprosthetic bony destruction. The current case presents a large benign mass consistent with a pseudotumor on both imaging and intraoperative findings but histologic findings demonstrating chronic hematoma. Case Description: An 86-year-old female with a metal-on-polyethylene total hip presented with a massive pseudotumor accompanied by extensive bony lysis. Due to pain and chronic anemia, a palliative debulking procedure was undertaken as a palliative measure. At one year follow-up, the patient reported significant pain relief and was able to ambulate safely with gait aids. Her hemoglobin stabilized post-operatively and ongoing transfusions were not required. Final pathology was not supportive of particle disease despite this being the leading diagnosis. Microscopic sections showed tissue mostly composed of fibrin and blood with multiple foci of calcification and reactive papillary endothelial hyperplasia which can be seen in chronic hematomas. Conclusions: This case presents the diagnostic dilemma of a large benign mass consistent with a pseudotumor on both imaging and intraoperative findings but histologic findings consistent with a chronic hematoma. It highlights the importance of close follow-up and early intervention when periprosthetic osteolysis is detected.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
