Hemoperitoneum, Hepatocellular cancer, Abdominal painAbstract
Hemoperitoneum can occur under various conditions, including tumorous ones. We present a case of an 80-year-old female patient, with a history of arterial hypertension, heart failure and stroke who was admitted due to abdominal pain in the right flank, on physical examination a palpable mass was noted. In the tomographic study, a hepatic carcinoma associated with Riedel’s hepatic lobe was characterized. After five days he suffered a partial hepatic rupture with active bleeding into the peritoneum. He died as a result of complications.
