Acquired hemophilia A revealed by spontaneous bleeding in an 80-year-old man: a marginal diagnosis?

Marie Gicart et al. Acta Clin Belg. 2022 Feb.

Abstract

This case report illustrates the difficulty associated with diagnosing acquired hemophilia A by reviewing the case of an 80-year-old man admitted to the hospital for anemia. A prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) was not noticed until the patient developed a severe hemorrhagic syndrome.

Keywords: Acquired hemophilia; bleeding disorder; factor VIII inhibitor; marginal zone lymphoma.
