[Giant esophageal hematoma: possible association with low-dose aspirin].
Esophageal hematoma is a rare entity that usually presents as acute thoracic pain. It may occur spontaneously or in association with an underlying disease or direct esophageal damage. The presence of coagulation disorders plays an important role in the development of hematoma. We describe the case of a female patient treated with low-dose aspirin who was diagnosed through emergency gastroscopy. We also review the literature and discuss possible causes, findings in diagnostic tests and treatment.
