ABSTRACT
We report a case of retroperitoneal hematoma during prophylactic heparin therapy for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A 79-year-old man was diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia with possible exacerbation of fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonia. He received a prophylactic dose of subcutaneous heparin therapy, methylprednisolone pulse therapy and Intravenous remdesivir but developed a spontaneous iliopsoas muscle hematoma, and transcatheter arterial embolization was performed. Even with a prophylactic dose of subcutaneous heparin therapy, the course should be carefully monitored, especially in patients with preexisting risk factors for hemorrhagic complications. Once retroperitoneal hematoma develops, aggressive procedures, such as transcatheter arterial embolization, should be considered to avoid fatal outcomes.
