Abstract

Acquired factor V deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder, the severity of which ranges from mild to fatal. There are various suggested treatments, including transfusion of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) or platelets, plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive therapy. We encountered a case of idiopathic acquired factor V deficiency with fatal retroperitoneal bleeding treated with steroid and cyclophosphamide.
