Acquired hemophilia is a potentially fatal rare complication of patients with hematological malignancies (usually lymphoproliferative disorders) or solid tumors. We report a 75-year female patient with a history of arterial hypertension and iron deficiency anemia. Log in to the emergency department complaining of generalized cramping abdominal pain associated with emetic episodes and melenic stools. In initial studies found prothrombin time (PT) 19 seconds control: 11 seconds, INR 1.8 and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) 45 seconds, control: 29 seconds. Mixing aPTT study with normal plasma was performed suggesting specific anticoagulation factor. Other tests were performed: Factor IX 0%, factor VIII and 0%. Factor VIII inhibitor: 180 UB, factor IX inhibitor: 130 UB. It was considered acquired hemophilia A and B and was studying with extension studies found a splenic marginal non Hodgkin lymphoma.
