Abstract
ABSTRACT
A case of invasive mole causing uterine perforation is a rare occurrence. We describe a patient who had an acute surgical abdomen. Exploration of the peritoneal cavity revealed uterine perforation and hemoperitoneum. A total abdominal hysterectomy was necessary because of extensive uterine wall damage and to ensure hemostasis. Pathologic examination of the tissue revealed an invasive mole with a focal rupture of the uterus. (J GYNECOL SURG 10:89, 1994)
