Abstract

Rupture of veins on the surface of uterine leiomyoma is an extremely uncommon gynaecological cause of hemoperitoneum .It is a life threatening emergency. We report a case of massive intraperitoneal hemorrhage due to rupture of vessels on the surface of subserous leiomyoma.The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy followed by laparotomy and hysterectomy. She received 5 units of fresh blood transfusion and had smooth postoperative period. A differential diagnosis of rupture of surface vessel of leiomyoma should be considered, while dealing with a case of hemoperitoneum with pelvic mass.
