Abstract

We report a rare case of acute massive fatal spontaneous hemoperitoneum in a 51year old African male. Death occurred suddenly in this patient who had no previous medical history or clinical signs of liver disease and apparently in good health. Autopsy findings showed a massive hemoperitoneum from ruptured cirrhotic liver nodule. Though rupture is a rare complication of liver cirrhosis and other nodular liver diseases, patients should be managed with this possibility in mind.
