Cutaneous hyperpigmentations are frequent complaints, motivating around 8.5% of all dermatological consultations in our country. They can be congenital, with different patterns of inheritance, or acquired in consequence of skin problems, systemic diseases or secondary to environmental factors. The vast majority of them are linked to alterations on the pigment melanin, induced by different mecha...

Acquired hemophilia is a very rare disease characterized by the presence of an autoantibody (mainly IgG) to factor VIII, with a clinical presentation resembling hemophilia A. It is associated with various autoimmune or dermatologic diseases, pregnancy, cancer, or drug ingestion, but in almost 50% of patients no underlying disorder is found. The treatment of acquired hemophilia is particularly c...

Angioedema recurs at unpredictable intervals, lasts from two to five days and presents with edema of the skin (face, limbs, genital...

Acquired haemophilia (AH) is a severe bleeding diathesis that affects both males and females. It is caused by suddenly appearing autoantibodies that interfere with coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) activity. Although some conditions such as autoimmune diseases, cancer and puerperium seem likely to induce AH, in more than half of the observed cases autoantibodies to FVIII are idiopathic. The clini...
