We report herein a case of a 58‐year‐old woman with COVID‐19. During the hospitalization, the patient complained of acute abdominal pain, and abdominal CT revealed the rectus sheath hematoma (RSH). Since corticosteroids and anti‐coagulation are commonly administered in COVID‐19 patients, physicians should consider RSH as a possible diagnosis for acute abdominal pain.
