Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pyometra is an accumulation of purulent fluid in the uterine cavity. Generalized peritonitis secondary to a perforated pyometra is extremely rare. Most of the pyometra perforation is associated with malignancy. We have experienced a case of generalized peritonitis secondary to a perforated pyometra with no associated malignancy.
