Abstract
We report two unusual cases of rectus sheath hematoma. This condition usually presents with acute onset and is generally treated through the general surgery or emergency service department. However, if the hematoma grows slowly it may be diagnosed as an abdominal tumor and the patient may then be referred to the plastic surgery department.
