An abdominal computerized tomography (CT-scan) performed before admission (9 days before) confirmed the presence of a giant sub-capsular hepatic hematoma, developed at the expense of segments VI, VII, and VIII of 136 x 80 mm in diameter (Figure 1).

An abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done urgently on the day of admission to our department and confirmed that it was a giant sub-capsular hematoma of the liver at a phase of resorption without any traumatic or hepatic tumour pathology that could explain this spontaneous bleeding (Figure 2).

On the first day after drainage, an abdominal CT-scan was performed to check the position of the drain and consider its mobilization (Figure 3); this time radiological signs in lung cuts were compatible with a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
