Rectus sheath hematoma is a rare clinical condition and often misdiagnosed cause of abdominal mass. It is a well-documented complication of abdominal trauma, surgery and excessive strain on abdominal musculature. This is a case report of rectus sheath hematoma in which the clinical features and ultrasound findings favored intraperitoneal mass.
