Spontaneous muscle hematomas are rare in patients with cirrhosis and are associated with a high mortality rate. Hemostatic imbalances associated with cirrhosis are very complex and include primary and secondary hemostasis defects. Here we report a case of bilateral rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) with unilateral iliopsoas hematoma in a cirrhotic patient and review the literatures reported cases.
