Lupus anticoagulant hypoprothrombinaemia syndrome (LACHPS) is a rare disorder, defined by the presence of an acquired factor II (FII) deficiency and lupus anticoagulant (LAC) (Rapaport et al. 1960). The main symptom is bleeding that may range from mild mucocutaneous bruises to lifethreatening pulmonary or intracranial haemorrhage. It may occur secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), viral infections and drugs (Kim et al. 2014; Komvilaisak et al. 2017). Herein, we report on a 16-year-old girl of LAC-HPS patient associated with SLE who presented with excessive menstrual bleeding, ecchymosis and macroscopic haematuria.
