Abstract
We present a male infant with postoperative bleeding following a circumcision procedure due to a rare hematological cause that was treated in our center. Circumcision is a commonly performed procedure. It is a relatively safe with a low overall complication rate. Patients with post circumcision bleeding should have a coagulation profile and those with prolonged or excessive bleeding should undergo a comprehensive hematologic evaluation to look for possible rare undiagnosed bleeding disorders.
