Acquired factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is an extremely rare and potentially fatal bleeding disorder. Immune-mediated FXIII deficiency is due to the development of anti-FXIII autoantibodies which may develop with concomitant conditions that cause immune dysregulation such as malignancies or autoimmune disorders. Clinical presentation includes delayed post-operative bleeding or spontaneous soft tissue hematomas and/or cerebral bleeding. Since screening coagulation laboratory tests (prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and fibrinogen) are typically normal, acquired FXIII deficiency is likely to be overlooked and underdiagnosed. The management of immune-mediated FXIII deficiency is based on hemostatic therapy, autoantibody removal and eradication of the underlying etiology; however, no treatment guidelines are still available. Here we report a case of acquired FXIII deficiency associated with plasmablastic lymphoma, in order to raise awareness of this rare bleeding disorder and consent prompt life-saving management.
