Abstract
Key Points: Two well-documented cases of a HIT-mimicking disorder without proximate heparin exposure (spontaneous HIT syndrome) are reported. The definition of spontaneous HIT syndrome should include strong serum-induced platelet activation at 0 IU/mL heparin (inhibited at 100 IU/mL).Keywords
