Acquired factor VII deficiency associated with Wilms tumor.

We present the case of a 2-year-old female with Wilms tumor whose initial evaluation revealed a prolonged prothrombin time (PT) and normal activated partial thromboplastin time. Mixing studies demonstrated correction of the PT and the Factor VII activity was 17% in the absence of a Factor VII inhibitor. She underwent successful resection of the tumor with fresh frozen plasma support and no excessive bleeding. Post-operative testing demonstrated normal PT at 3 days and 1-month. Although acquired von Willebrand factor deficiency has a known association with Wilms tumor, paraneoplastic factor VII deficiency associated with Wilms tumor is previously unreported.
