Haemoperitoneum secondary to ruptured corpus luteum is a rare complication for women of reproductive life. The differential diagnosis of hemoperitoneum includes various types of acute abdomen that usually associated with acute lower abdominal pain and swelling lower abdomen. The differential diagnosis includes ruptured ectopic pregnancy, ruptured chocolate cyst, twisted ovarian tumor, pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic peritonitis. Ruptured hemorrhagic corpus luteum is an uncommon cause of acute abdomem. Its occurrence is unknown but is likely quite frequent and without symptoms. Most cases are self limiting; enquire only observation with abdominal pain relieved with analgesics. Some need laparoscopy or laparotomy to achieve homeostasis if the patient is haemodynamically unstable.

Endometriotic Cyst

A unicornuate uterus with functioning and non communicating rudimentary horn is a rare Mullerian abnormality, difficult to diagnose at times usually low in the list of differential diagnosis for pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea. A 22 years P1 presented with severe lower abdominal pain and dysmenorrhoea, following laparotomy that was done for endometriotic cyst of left ovary 7 months back. Radiographic studies revealed the haematometra in the rudimentary horn with normal uterus, right ovary and the tube. Laparotomy with drainage of haematometra and excision of septum along with the reconstruction of uterine cavity was performed thus anatomizing it with the cavity of the rudimentary horn. Both the intra and the post operative period were uneventful. She was discharged on OCP along with the advice to follow up regularly. She is asymptomatic till date.

Sinus Tumor

A case of pure extragonadal choriocarcinoma in the rectum of an 84-year-old man is described. The patient complained of rectal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. The trophoblastic origin of the tumor was documented by immunoperoxidase staining for human chorionic gonadotropin. The DNA histogram showed a diploid pattern. The patient died 106 days after diagnosis. Only eight cases of choriocarcinoma of the large intestine have been reported, three of which were located in the rectum. The age of patients affected range widely, from 28 to 84 years with a mean of 54 years: 79 for males and 46 for females. Women are affected three times as often as men. The pathologic study showed adenocarcinoma with germ cell elements in seven cases: six choriocarcinoma and one mixed (choriocarcinoma and endodermal sinus tumor). Germ cell differentiation may be difficult to identify in small biopsy samples, which may not be representative of the tumor as a whole. The prognosis of patients with choriocarcinoma of the large bowel is very poor; survival is less than 5 months. Although choriocarcinoma in the rectum is very rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of rectal neoplasms.

Uterine leiomyomas are very common gynaecological benign tumours. Spontaneous torsion of a uterine subserosal leiomyoma is a rare cause of acute lower abdominal pain and should be treated immediately with surgery. We report a case of an enlarged subserosal leiomyoma that was first detected by computed tomography (CT) and further confirmed by laparoscopic surgery to be a subserosal leiomyoma with torsion.

Pelvic Masses

Data on 14 cases of ovarian tumors occurring in children have been discussed in this presentation. Ovarian neoplasm is uncommon during childhood. It should be considered however in the differential diagnosis of several conditions observed not infrequently by the clinician in girls from infancy through adolescence. These conditions are: lower abdominal pain of acute, subacute or chronic nature; abdominal or pelvic masses; precocious puberty and vaginal bleeding. The treatment is surgical. The prognosis in the malignant varieties is usually serious, but there are exceptions to this generalization. The prognosis in the benign types is good.
