“…Hemoperitoneum resulting from ruptured corpus luteum cyst have been described since the early 1900s and is frequently misdiagnosed as ruptured ectopic pregnancy, acute appendicitis, ovarian torsion and endometriosis [13,14] or as spontaneous spleen rupture in our case, imaging influenced by a perisplenic clot and the importance of hemoperitoneum. Also,in one study, the hemoperitoneum was found to be the dominant imaging feature rather than the cyst itself [15] like in our case.…”

“…In case of unstable vital signs the patient undergoes surgical treatment. Laparoscopy represents the first minimally invasive approach [14] that can eventually be converted to laparotomy in case of failure or of unstable vital signs such as important hemoglobin decrease over 4-6 hours (~2 g/dL) with increasing hemoperitoneum on follow-up imaging studies [17,18].…”

Website: www.ijcasereportsandimages.comMassive hemoperitoneum from a ruptured corpus luteum cyst masquerading as biliary colic Justin B. Belsky, Jumana F. Nagarwala, Glenn F. Tokarski ABSTRACT Introduction: Corpus luteum cysts are functional cysts that secrete progesterone in preparation for pregnancy. If conception does not occur, they typically dissipate, however, they may collect with fluid or blood and form a cyst that can rupture. Although cyst rupture is generally benign, causing mild pain to the patient, it can result in massive hemoperitoneum requiring emergent surgical intervention. Case Report: A 23-year old female presented to the emergency department after experiencing several hours of right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Emergency department evaluation included normal liver function studies and a negative urine and serum pregnancy test. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a large amount of intra-peritoneal fluid but no biliary disease was identified. While in the emergency department, she developed signs of acute hypovolemic shock. Serial hemoglobin revealed a four-gram drop after arrival in emergency department. She underwent emergent exploratory laparoscopy where massive hemoperitoneum (750 cm3 of blood) was identified. A ruptured corpus luteum cyst was identified as the source of acute blood loss. Conclusion:We present the first known case of a ruptured corpus luteum cyst resulting in massive hemoperitoneum masquerading as biliary colic. It is paramount that clinicians consider a ruptured ovarian cyst in females with abdominal pain, regardless of the location of pain.
