Incidental subcapsular liver hematoma

Diagnosis probable

Presentation

Incidental finding. Asymptomatic.

Patient Data

Age: 50 years
Gender: Female

Isolated 10.6 × 3.4 cm liver subcapsular hematoma, without any apparent lesion.

Case Discussion

The patient presented above had no comorbidities. She also denied any previous history of surgery, trauma or use of medications. The hematoma was an incidental finding during an abdominal ultrasound, that the patient was taking for her annual check-up. A case of spontaneous liver subcapsular hematoma without any apparent lesion and in the absence of coagulopathy, in the nonobstetrical population is rare.
