Abstract
We report clinical details and imaging findings of a case of subcapsular liver hematoma (SLH) occurring as incidental finding in a newborn with scrotal hematoma. We present this case to alert that SHL should be added to the list of differential diagnoses of neonatal liver lesions, despite the lack of associated risk factors.
