RESUMEN
Lateral abdominal wall hematoma is a rare clinical entity but a great mimicker of other diseases' clinical presentations. In this case report, we present a 42-year-old male patient with a constellation of signs and symptoms that were mistaken for aortic dissection before the lateral abdominal wall hematoma diagnosis was confirmed with computed tomography (CT) imaging. Uncontrolled hypertension and persistent cough were most likely predisposing factors; the patient was managed conservatively and discharged in a stable condition.
