Only a handful of cases of male pelvic dermoid cysts have been published with no reported case of ruptured male pelvic dermoid causing small bowel obstruction to the best of our knowledge.Case presentationHerein we report a case of ruptured pelvic dermoid presenting with intestinal obstruction in an adult male patient with situs inversus totalis.ConclusionPelvic dermoid cyst should be considered even in males the presence of classical radiological signs. Knowledge of usual and unusual imaging signs as well as the associated life-threatening complications of a ruptured dermoid cyst can help in prompt diagnosis and timely patient management.
