Journal Title: Iranian Journal of Blood and Cancer - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 2

Abstract

Congenital factor X deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder that presents with variable bleeding tendency and prolonged coagulation tests, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time. Thromboembolic events have not been reported in patients with factor X deficiency yet. Herein, we report a patient with factor X deficiency who had recurrent venous thromboembolic events.
