Abstract
A 33-year-old woman sustained blunt abdominal trauma following a watermelon skiing accident in a rural location. She had massive haemoperitoneum and required transfer by helicopter to a level one trauma centre. At laparotomy, the cause of haemoperitoneum was found to be due to traumatic rupture of a para-adnexal leiomyoma. On review of the literature, this is the first reported case of traumatic haemoperitoneum from ruptured para-adnexal leiomyoma, and the first reported trauma associated injury from watermelon skiing.
