ABSTRACT
A spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the liver is an unusual clinical phenomenon and is usually associated with trauma, surgery, tumor or pregnancy. We report a case of a recurrent spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the liver without an identifiable cause. A 52-year-old female presented to the emergency room with acute abdominal pain localized in the right upper quadrant area. Diagnostic workup revealed a subcapsular hematoma in the segment 8 area. The laboratory evaluation was also normal. She was managed conservatively. However, two months later another episode of abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant recurred. Diagnostic workup showed recurrence of a subcapsular hematoma in the segment 6 area. Follow-up evaluation revealed resorption of the previous subcapsular hematomas, as well as a new lesion in the segment 1 area. Herein, we discuss potential causes of this spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the liver.
