Abstract
Acquired hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by the presence of autoantibodies directed factor VIII inhibitor (FVIII). We here describe the case of a 69-year-old Japanese woman who presented with severe bleeding after tooth extraction and found to have acquired hemophilia with reduction of the activity for multiple coagulation factors. Hemostasis was achieved after treatment with hemodynamic stabilizsation and immunosuppression therapies. Although we are not able to confirm the absence of FVIII inhibitor even after 11 years post diagnosis, there is no evidence of re-hemorrhage under the supervision of a specialist in hematology.
