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.
Key words: Iliac bone, imaging, subperiosteal hematoma
