The spontaneous abdominal wall hematoma is an infrequent entity which corresponds to the accumulation of blood in the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. We report a case of a patient admitted with chronic heart failure, hypertension, chronic atria fibrillation and chronic renal failure that, although with normal coagulation tests results, developed a spontaneous bleeding in the abdominal wall. Conservative treatment was adopted with success. A review of the literature about the subject and a discussion about the more appropriated approach are followed.
