title: [Spontaneous hematoma of the rectus abdominis muscle. A case report].
abstract: A case of rectus sheath haematoma and essential thrombocytosis during anticoagulation treatment is described. The difficulties encountered in reaching a clinical, differential diagnosis between rectus sheath haematoma and other abdominal acute conditions are stressed. Computed tomography may prevent inappropriate surgical treatment and its role is emphasized.
