Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), newly emerging in the world as a pandemic disease, can have rare extrapulmonary manifestations. Few studies have reported coagulation disorders, induced by coronavirus; however, hemorrhage is an extremely rare and life-threatening phenomenon in COVID-19.
Case presentation: Herein, we present a 31-year-old woman referring with vaginal bleeding, melena, skin ecchymosis, mucosal bleeding, melena, hematuria, and hypovolemic shock. At our center, she was diagnosed as a case of severe internal hemorrhage due to ovulation site hemorrhage and underwent emergency surgery, complicated by prolonged international normalized ratio, which could be due to the presence of COVID-19 in the patient, detected by spiral computed tomography.
Conclusions: This case showed the importance of examining COVID-19 in any patients referring to the hospital during the pandemic as well as paying greater attention to the effect of COVID-19 on coagulation disorders in these patients.
