Abstract
Bleeding is very rare in patients with lupus anticoagulants in the abs ence of associated hemostatic abnormalities. Few cases have been repor ted with attention given to work-up for other coagulation defects. We report a case of spontaneous hematoma in a patient with lupus anticoag ulant, immunoglobulin (Ig)WI anticardiolipin antibodies, and no other associated abnormalities. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
