[A man with abdominal pain and subsequently a periumbilical haematoma].

A 71-year-old male presented with periumbilical ecchymosis formed after acute onset of abdominal pain and near collapse. At the time of presentation the haematoma was the only symptom. Following a CT scan, the diagnosis of a contained rupture of an iliac artery aneurysm was made. The patient was successfully treated with an endovascular stent graft.
