Julia Tan, Mohamed Siraj
Abstract
Spontaneous bleeding from uterine leiomyoma is an unusual cause of hemoperitoneum. Fewer than 100 cases have been reported in the literature so far. We report a 30-year-old woman who needed surgical exploration for an acute abdomen. There was massive hemoperitoneum due to bleeding from a subserosal myoma. This case was important because physician should be aware of this rare complication in patient with uterine myoma to avoid any morbidity and mortality.
