Abdominal wall hematomas are rare and often misdiagnosed. Imaging like ultrasound or CT scans are key for accurate diagnosis and guiding treatment, with conservative management preferred.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Case Reports
  • Abdominal Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Abdominal wall hematomas are infrequent and challenging clinical presentations.
  • Misdiagnosis is common, potentially leading to unnecessary surgical interventions or delayed appropriate treatment.
  • Understanding the varied presentations is crucial for effective patient management.

Observation:

  • Three distinct cases of abdominal wall muscle hematomas are presented.
  • One patient underwent laparotomy for suspected appendicitis, highlighting diagnostic confusion.
  • Another case mimicked a tuberculous abscess, underscoring the need for differential diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) are essential for accurate diagnosis of abdominal wall hematomas.

  • Conservative management is the primary treatment strategy for uncomplicated cases.
  • Surgical intervention is reserved for severe bleeding or complicated infections.

    • Implications:

    • Improved diagnostic accuracy through imaging can prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate surgeries.
    • Timely and correct diagnosis leads to appropriate conservative management, reducing patient morbidity.
    • Awareness of these rare hematomas aids clinicians in considering them in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain.
