  • Title: Circulating lupus anticoagulant in a surgical temporomandibular joint patient. Report of a case.
    Author: Carlson ER, Catone GA.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1988 Apr; 65(4):404-5. PubMed ID: 3129685.
    Abstract:
    The lupus anticoagulant is a unique inhibitor of hemostasis. Its occurrence in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus reportedly varies from 5% to 50%. The inhibitor is endogenously produced and occurs in a diverse number of clinical states. The present case report reviews an inadvertent discovery of circulating lupus anticoagulant in a patient scheduled for surgery of the temporomandibular joint.
