title: [Clinical case of the month. Spontaneous hematoma and acquired hemophilia].
abstract: Acquired haemophilia is a rare disease, 50% of the cases are idiopathic. We report a case admitted in cardiology for spontaneous hematoma. Observation of isolated prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPPT) without anticoagulation treatment and the absence of correction with normal plasma suggested diagnosis. Confirmation of inhibitors to FVIII allowed perfusions of activated prothrombin complex concentrates.
