Treatment with prednisolone was successful in reducing the inhibitor so that the bleeding manifested by epistaxis and subcutaneous hemorrhages in the extremities ceased. Circulating inhibitors against factor VIII associated with malignancies appear to be very rare. Fourteen patients with factor VIII inhibitors associated with malignancies were reviewed.
