Abstract
ABSTRACTBleeding from uterine leiomyoma is a rare cause of hemoperitoneum. Although extremely rare, spontaneous bleeding from uterine leiomyoma should be in the differential diagnosis when there is no history of trauma, pregnancy, or other findings. This case report highlights that spontaneous vascular rupture in a fibroid can cause acute cardiovascular collapse, and that this should be borne in mind in cases of acute abdomen, especially in the presence of an abdomino-pelvic mass. Because surgical intervention is the only definitive treatment, emergency physicians should be aware of this rare complication.How to cite this articleDahiya K, Walecha N.
