It is usually reported after blunt external trauma, endoscopy-related trauma, coagulopathies, and occasionally spontaneous. Most cases presented acutely after primary insult; however, a delayed presentation rarely can occur.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Herein we describe an 8-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency department with an appendicitis-like picture six weeks after a history of falling. Intraoperatively, the patient was found to have a normal appendix. However, a large intramural cecal hematoma contains black blood with many clots was found. The patient was treated by hematoma evacuation with preservation of the cecum and colon and he was discharged with uneventful recovery. During two years follow up there was no history of complications or recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intramural cecal hematoma could be presented with various symptoms that range from mild abdominal pain to severe abdominal pain with vomiting, intestinal obstruction, bowel perforation, and hemoperitoneum. Diagnosis is challenging, and CT scan is the key for diagnosis. Although Conservative therapy is the first-line treatment; however, surgery still has a role in selected cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors report the first case of cecal hematomas with a delayed presentation.
