Published in: Clinical case reports (2022)

We report herein a case of a 58-year-old woman with COVID-19. During the hospitalization, the patient complained of acute abdominal pain, and abdominal CT revealed the rectus sheath hematoma (RSH). Since corticosteroids and anti-coagulation are commonly administered in COVID-19 patients, physicians should consider RSH as a possible diagnosis for acute abdominal pain.
