Title: $Hepatic Hematoma after Deep Tissue Massage
Abstract: To the Editor: Common causes of hepatic hematoma include trauma and rupture of a hepatic tumor (adenoma or hepatoma). We report a case of hepatic hematoma that developed after a deep body massage. A 39-year-old woman who had no history of serious disorders and no liver problems or bleeding disorders and who was not taking any medications underwent a deep body massage that included massage of the abdomen and right upper quadrant. Within 24 hours, vague abdominal discomfort and nausea developed, with pain in the right shoulder. She went to her local hospital 72 hours after the massage for evaluation . . .
