TI  - Hypovolemic shock due to giant ovarian tumor rupture after minor trauma: A case report
AB  - Rupture of gynecologic tumors secondary to trauma rarely occurs. Rupture can lead to acute abdominal pain due to hemorrhage from the ruptured area and organs; rupture can also lead to peritonitis, depending on the size of the tumor. We describe the case of giant epithelial ovarian tumor rupture exhibiting due to minor trauma and the development of hypovolemic shock. A 69-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency room with complaints of acute abdominal pain and subsequent clouding of consciousness after falling down while walking. Emergency abdominal computed tomography scan revealed widespread hemorrhagic free fluid in the abdominal cavity and a mass measuring 27.5 cm × 21 cm × 15 cm, extending from the right quadrant of the abdomen to the left. The patient underwent an emergency operation due to hypovolemic shock. During surgery, a totally ruptured mass lesion arising from the right ovary was seen; the mass contained cystic components and measured approximately 30 cm × 20 cm × 15 cm. Hemostasis was achieved in the bleeding areas, and the right ovarian mass was totally resected. The patient was discharged as cured on the 6th post-operative day. Gynecologic tumor rupture due to trauma is a rare event. However, it is a clinical condition that should be kept in mind regardless of the type of trauma. This is especially true in patients who experienced trauma and were radiologically found to have intra-abdominal hemorrhage with normal-appearing solid organs, such as liver and spleen, that frequently cause bleeding
