Five cases of rectus sheath hematoma were correctly diagnosed by ultrasound. The main feature in each case was a well defined superficial abdominal transsonic mass; it appeared spindle shaped on longitudinal sections and ovoid on transverse sections. Ultrasonography is suggested as the procedure of choice for the diagnosis of this condition.
