Ossifying Subperiosteal Hematoma of the Iliac Bone: Imaging Findings

Background: Subperiosteal hematoma SPH of the iliac bone is a rarely reported posttraumatic lesion that predominantly affects young men. SPH often involves the skull, tibia, and iliac bones. Case report: Herein, we aimed to report the plain radiography, computerized tomography CT and magnetic resonance imaging MRI findings of an ossified SPH of the left iliac bone in a 53-year-old man with a history of anticoagulant medication. Conclusions: SPH of the iliac bone is typically an asymptomatic condition. Observing an ossified lesion in the shape of a lens on the inner aspect of the iliac wing in radiological examinations is diagnostic of this condition.
