The article reports a very rare case of ovarian cyst rupture in 49-year-old woman who had a multiorgan injury during work in her own rural property. The diagnostic problems of the blunt abdominal trauma are discussed.

Post-traumatic rupture of the right ovary and liver after blunt abdominal trauma: A case report

“…Parenchymal organs, which are usually injured due to blunt trauma are: liver (36 %), spleen (32 %), kidneys (24 %), small intestine (55 %), and colon (35 %) [3]. Vascular injuries to the abdomen after blunt trauma injury are less likely to occur [1].…”

“…Traumatic rupture of the ovary, due to blunt abdominal trauma, is very rare and it is usually connected to former ovarian cysts or teratomas [5]. So far in the literature a multi trauma patient run over by a tractor proved to suffer from ruptured cyst of the left ovary [3]. Two cases of an 18 year-old and a 15-year-old female respectively who were overrun by high-speed vehicles are also described.…”

Ovarian cyst rupture during real-time transvaginal Doppler ultrasonography

“…[13] In a recent case report, diagnoses of positive peritoneal lavage secondary to "simple" ovarian cyst rupture were defined which were also confirmed histopathologically in a 49-year-old postmenopausal woman who was passed over by a tractor wheel. [14] In another article, an ovarian dermoid tumor case approximately 8 cm in diameter and had spontaneous rupture during labor was given. [15] These findings show that severe blunt abdominal trauma and even labor may cause cyst ruptures.…”
