Abstract
Acquired anti-Factor V antibodies (AFVI) deficiency is uncommon. The clinical features vary from asymptomatic to severe hemorrhagic tendency. We report a case of a 77-year-old woman suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. She developed AFVI, discovered during a preoperative check-up without bleeding symptoms. Clinicians and surgeons should be aware of this rare, but potentially life-threatening complication.
