ePub - Peptic ulcer disease is the most common cause of acute gastrointestinal bleeding, followed by variceal bleeding, Mallory–Weiss syndrome, and malignancy. On the contrary, acquired hemophilia A is a very rare hemorrhagic disease, which usually manifests with musculocutaneous bleeding, caused by autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII.
A 78-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department with melena. Dieulafoy’s lesions were observed on esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and endoscopic cauterization was performed. However, the patient complained of back pain and symptoms indicative of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Abdominopelvic computed tomography was performed, and hematoma in the psoas muscle was detected. Antibodies against coagulation factor VIII were confirmed with a blood test, and the diagnosis of acquired hemophilia A was made. Here, we report a case of acquired hemophilia A presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding symptoms and present a brief review of literature. -

Abstract
PDF
- Small bowel obstructions are most commonly caused by adhesions, hernias, neoplasms or inflammatory stricture. Inflammatory pseudotumors are an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction, even in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We have experienced a case of small bowel obstruction caused by an inflammatory pseudotumor in a 38-year old male with AIDS. Abdominal computed tomography showed small bowel obstruction due to jejunal annular wall thickening. Surgical laparotomy showed a non-specific granulomatous inflammatory mass that could not fulfill any diagnostic criteria for a specific disease. This report describes our findings of small bowel obstruction due to an inflammatory pseudotumor and discusses the differential diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumor in AIDS patients.
