Massive gastric hematoma, a rare finding in a dissecting cadaver: A case report

Abstract

Intramural formation of massive hematoma is an uncommon clinical presentation. It commonly involves bleeding in the cavity of the upper gastrointestinal tract like the oesophagus, stomach, and various parts of small and large intestines. Most of the reports in the earlier literature were found to be associated with the clinical case scenarios, but the cadaver-based intramural hematoma in the stomach is one such rare finding met during routine dissections. Various clinical case backgrounds involving the complication of mere bleeding to haemorrhage in the gastrointestinal tract will be highlighted under the case report.
