The ICD code M7981 is used to code Hematoma. A hematoma or haematoma is a localized collection of blood outside the blood vessels, usually in liquid form within the tissue. An ecchymosis, commonly (although erroneously) called a bruise, is a hematoma of the skin larger than 10mm.
A rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) is a rare medical condition that consists of blood accumulating in the rectus abdominis muscle sheath. RSH is most frequently due to a hemorrhage from the superior or inferior epigastric artery.
Hemorrhage, not elsewhere classified. R58 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM R58 became effective on October 1, 2018. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R58 - other international versions of ICD-10 R58 may differ.
Again, a large majority of patients with rectus sheath hematoma are taking some form of therapeutic anticoagulation. For those taking warfarin, the INR can help steer the decision to administer a reversal agent.
Rectus sheath hematoma is an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain. It is an accumulation of blood in the sheath of the rectus abdominis, secondary to rupture of an epigastric vessel or muscle tear. It could occur spontaneously or after trauma.

Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma (SRH) is defined as bleeding into the retroperitoneal space without trauma or iatrogenic manipulation [1]. Rectus sheath hematoma (RSH) results from accumulation of blood within the rectus sheath.
The rectus sheath is the durable, resilient, fibrous compartment that contains both the rectus abdominis muscle and the pyramidalis muscle. The fascial coverings of the external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis muscles comprise the rectus sheath.

Rectus sheath hematomas (RSHs) are generally caused either by rupture of one of the epigastric arteries or by a muscular tear with shearing of a small vessel.
Retroperitoneal bleeding occurs when blood enters into the space behind the posterior reflection of the abdominal peritoneum. With a variety of possible etiologies and patient presentations, the diagnosis of retroperitoneal bleeding can be difficult.
The diagnosis of retroperitoneal hematoma requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. In almost all cases, it is reliant upon the use of computed tomography (CT) scanning, which is often useful to confirm the diagnosis as well as identify the underlying cause.
Retroperitoneal haematoma is frequent following blunt trauma, and is commonly caused by injury to the lumbar spine, bony pelvis, bladder or kidney or, less commonly, to the pancreas, duodenum or major vascular structures.
The rectus sheath encloses the rectus abdominis and pyramidalis muscles and forms an important component of the anterior abdominal wall.
The rectus sheath is a tendon sheath (aponeurosis) which encloses the rectus abdominis and pyramidalis muscles. It is an extension of the tendons of the external abdominal oblique, internal abdominal oblique, and transversus abdominis muscles.
In opening the abdomen, the peritoneum is incorporated in the lower abdomen with the transversalis fascia. Above the arcuate line, the posterior rectus sheath also lies under the rectus abdominus muscles, and these structures are incised along with what is clinically referred to as the peritoneum.
