Abstract:
The presence of a circulating inhibitor of factor VIII was observed and described in several pathological conditions. In the present study we describe the case of a patient with a severe haemorrhagic syndrome caused by the presence of a circulating inhibitor of factor VIII discovered following abdominal surgery for an adenocarcinoma of the colon rectum. The haemorrhagic syndrome evolved independently from the course of the neoplastic disease.
