Synopsis
Those affected are typically in their 60s to 80s, which may reflect the typical age of anticoagulant use, with a male to female ratio of 1.9 to 1. The lesions typically appear 2-20 days (median 7 days) after initiation of anticoagulant treatment. There are over 90 cases reported in literature, but BHD may be underreported.
The etiology of BHD is poorly understood.
