title: [A case of alcoholic liver cirrhosis associated with intramuscular hematoma].
abstract: We reported a rare case of spontaneous intramuscular hematoma associated with alcoholic liver cirrhosis patient. A 60-year-old man with alcoholic liver cirrhosis was admitted to our hospital for pneumonia. It was improved by conservative treatments, however, he was complaint of severe pain in right hip and thigh. MRI revealed intramuscular hematoma at acute phase. Resting and anticoagulant therapy reduced it, but liver functions were not improved. After a few months, he received another intramuscular hematoma in the left thoracic muscles, and then died because of liver failure. It seems important to consider intramuscular hematoma as a complication of alcoholic liver cirrhosis.
