An acquired factor VII deficiency was identified in a 63-year-old man with bronchogenic carcinoma. Initial studies indicated a normal activated partial thromboplastin time and a prolonged prothrombin time. The factor VII level was 6%. No evidence of a factor VII inhibitor or inactivator was demonstrable. However, on account of the initial normal laboratory test of emostases, the partial correction of the prothrombin time with 50% normal plasma in vitro and the family history, the congenital deficiency in factor VII was ruled out. Whatever the mechanism involved, this factor VII deficiency was related to malignancy.
