Atraumatic Hepatic Laceration with Hemoperitoneum

<b>Introduction:</b> A rare case of atraumatic liver laceration associated with hemoperitoneum is presented in a patient with amyloidosis who came to the hospital for abdominal pain. <b>Case Presentation:</b> The imaging findings reveal significant hepatomegaly with finely heterogeneous hepatic density and subcapsular hypo-dense streaks in segments VI and VII, likely representing lesions. Post-contrast enhancement shows a punctiform contrast medium extravasation within the subhepatic fluid collection, visible from the arterial phase and intensifying in subsequent study phases. <b>Discussion:</b> These imaging findings suggest an atraumatic hepatic laceration, a diagnosis confirmed by the presence of hemoperitoneum distributed bilaterally under the diaphragm, in the paracolic gutters, along the mesentery root, and predominantly in the peri-hepatic region. <b>Conclusion:</b> The detailed imaging analysis provided critical insights into the diagnosis and management of this rare clinical presentation.
