Abstract
Acquired haemophilia is a rare disease in which bleeding is more severe than in hereditary haemophilia and usually occurs in the soft tissues, the gastrointestinal tract, or the mucous membranes. There have been only a few presentations of spontaneous sublingual haematoma in acquired haemophilia, but prompt management of the airway and identification of the underlying cause was crucial in all.
