Spontaneous and enormous, chronic expanding hematoma of the lumbar region: a case report

BACKGROUND: Chronic expanding haematoma (CEH) is a very infrequent event with imprecise developmental mechanism and is rarely reported in literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of enormous and spontaneous chronic haematoma of the back, expanded from the lower thoracic area to the sacral ar...

description BACKGROUND: Chronic expanding haematoma (CEH) is a very infrequent event with imprecise developmental mechanism and is rarely reported in literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of enormous and spontaneous chronic haematoma of the back, expanded from the lower thoracic area to the sacral area, in a young patient without any history of trauma or chronic coagulopathy. CONCLUSION: The MRI scan is very useful in preoperative diagnosis, however only the histopathological examination is able to perform the differential diagnosis with soft tissue tumors. Careful surgical treatment is important to minimize the haematoma recurrence.
