Abstract
|
|
|
|
Uterine leiomyoma is a common benign tumor in reproductive age women. Leiomyoma can cause acute abdominal pain through red degeneration, infection or torsion. Hemoperitoneum secondary to the rupture of superficial vein of a myoma is rare, and is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Because this condition may be life threatening, prompt surgical treatment is mandatory. The possibility of the venous rupture overlying a uterine myoma should be kept in mind in a patient with acute abdomen and hypovolemic shock, especially if the patient had negative pregnancy test and clinically apparent or known myoma.
