Autoantibody mediated acquired haomophilia is a rare disease. Hereditary haemophilia usually presents with traumatic or spontaneous bleeding in a young male with positive family history in maternal side.In this case study we described an elderly male patient presenting with short history of recurrent ecchymosis with no similar history in the past and no family history of similar illness. He ultimately turned out to be a case of acquired haemophilia due to SLE.
