Abstract

A hematoma is usually a self-limiting condition, forming after either an injury or a surgery. This occurs acutely and is managed either conservatively or by intervention. However, an unusual entity is the chronic expanding hematoma. This hematoma persists for a long time, gradually expanding in size. In this paper we report a case of such chronic expanding hepatoma and discuss the differential diagnosis and its management.
