Spontaneous Abdominal Wall Hematoma: Early Recurrence without an Anticoagulant in an Elderly Woman Receiving Chronic Corticosteroid Treatment.

ABSTRACT

Spontaneous abdominal wall hematoma is a relatively uncommon condition triggered by various factors, including anticoagulation therapy and trauma. However, reports of unprovoked cases without anticoagulants that recur shortly after treatment are limited. We herein report an elderly woman who had been prescribed corticosteroids and experienced early recurrence of hematoma following treatment, with no discernible triggers. This case highlights the possibility that patients with underlying predisposing factors may experience early hematoma recurrence at the same site, even in the absence of apparent triggers. Clinicians should monitor these patients to promptly identify and address potential recurrences.
