subject: SARS-CoV-2, Case report, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, Hemorrhage, infectious pandemic
description: Hemorrhagic manifestations during COVID-19 infections are increasingly described in the literature. We report the first case of spontaneous subcapsular hematoma of the liver revealing a COVID-19 infection in a 44-year-old woman with no underlying health condition history, a computerized tomography evaluation showed an aspect of lung ground-glass opacities, with moderate impairment estimated at about 20%. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction confirmed the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-traumatic bleeding such as spontaneous hematomas in patients with no coagulation disorder could be a manifestation of COVID-19 infection.
