Hemoperitoneum in a newborn secondary to antenatal hemorrhage into a retroperitoneal lymphangioma.
Hemoperitoneum in the newborn is an uncommon event, occurring most often in the setting of traumatic delivery. Hemoperitoneum resulting from antenatal hemorrhage into an abdominal mass is rare. We present a case of neonatal hemoperitoneum secondary to antenatal hemorrhage into a retroperitoneal lymphangioma. The differential diagnosis of neonatal hemoperitoneum is discussed.
