Congenital hypofibrinogenemia with bone cyst: a case report with review of literature

Abstract

Congenital hypofibrinogenemia is a rare autosomal recessive condition leading to low plasma fibrinogen levels, affecting approximately one in a million. The clinical phenotype is diverse and may vary from bleeding and thrombosis to the absence of symptoms. Bone cysts are an infrequent complication of hypofibrinogenemia. This case report describes the clinical history, diagnosis, and treatment of a 13-year-old patient with congenital hypofibrinogenemia with a bone cyst.
