Overview of spontaneous intraabdominal tumor hemorrhage: etiologies, imaging findings, and management.

Abdominal Radiology
Kevin KaliszBahar Mansoori

Abstract

Hemorrhage is a potential complication of benign and malignant tumors and tumor-like conditions in the abdomen. Patients often have non-specific presentations, although they may present critically ill and hemodynamically unstable. Imaging plays an important role not only in the diagnosis of hemorrhage but also in the detection and characterization of an underlying mass. Ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are utilized in evaluating these patients, with each having particular strengths and limitations. Spontaneous tumor hemorrhage is most commonly seen in hepatic and renal lesions, although it can arise from nearly every abdominal organ. In this article, we will review principles of tumor hemorrhage, illustrate common and uncommon imaging features, and highlight different options for management.
