A 52‐year‐old man presented to the emergency department due to progressive periumbilical pain for 3 days. Point‐of‐care ultrasound was performed by using high‐frequency linear‐array transducer. Point‐of‐care ultrasound is a useful and non‐invasive tool that can be used to evaluate the characteristics of superficial abdominal mass whether it is a hernia, tumor mass, hematoma, abscess, or vascular lesion.
