Abstract :
Warfarin- induced spontaneous breast hematoma is a very rare disease, with only a few cases having been reported in
the literature so far. We describe an 80-year-old woman who had warfarin therapy due to deep vein thrombosis in a lower
extremity. The patient was admitted with a history of swelling and red area on her bilateral breasts, chest wall, right arm, and
right flank. She was treated conservatively with success. She was discharged after about 3 weeks without complications and
was well at 6 months’ follow-up
