Abstract

Hematoma is generally defined as a collection of blood outside of blood vessels. Most commonly, hematomas are caused by an injury to the wall of a blood vessel, prompting blood to seep out of the blood vessel into the surrounding tissues. A 28-year-old man was admitted to the hospital, he came for ultrasound follow up after he exposed to trauma. An abdominal ultrasound image shows Intra-hepatic cystic mass contains low-level echoes with posterior enhancement = liquefied hematoma.
