Unlike most animals, humans are unable to synthesize vitamin C and dependent on vitamin C from vegetables or fruits. Vitamin C deficiency may lead to hyperkeratosis of hair follicles, gingivitis, anemia, arthritis, general fatigue, and depression, and may cause bleeding within the soft tissues. The diagnosis of scurvy can often overlooked because it is rarely encountered in present-day society. A 54-year-old male admitted hospital because of right leg pain due to huge hematoma. He had no trauma and medication history. He`s been unemployed, and rarely eating vegetable and fruit for decades. We could see huge painful hematoma of right thigh. Erythematous and swollen gingiva was also noted. His coagulation profiles were within normal limits. However his blood cell count, the concentration of vitamin C and folate were low. As we diagnosed as scurvy, we supplied vitamin C and folic acid to him. This treatment leads to rapid reversal of scorbutic changes. Scurvy should be considered as a differential diagnosis in the setting of hemorrhagic disease, and detailed history taking is necessary. Along with literature review, we report a case of scurvy accompanied by pancytopenia whose clinical and hematologic symptoms improved with administration of vitamin and folic acid.
