Abstract

Rupture of veins on the surface of sub-serous uterine fibroid is an uncommon cause of hemo-peritoneum. It is usually a silent and serious life threatening gynaecological emergency. We report a case of severe intra-abdominal bleeding secondary to rupture of veins on the surface of subserous fibroid. There was more than two litres of hemoperitoneum with active bleeding from the surface vein of sub-serous fibroid. Total abdominal hysterectomy was done. She received 5 units of fresh blood transfusion The postoperative period was uneventful. A differential diagnosis of rupture of surface vessel of uterine fibroid must be kept, while dealing with a case of hemoperitoneum with pelvic mass.
