CASE REPORTS: We report three cases of rectus sheath haematoma in elderly women. This condition is commonly misdiagnosed at any age but is an even more elusive diagnosis in elderly patients. CONCLUSION: It is important to consider rectus sheath haematoma in older patients with an abdominal or pelvic mass or spontaneous abdominal ecchymoses.
