Abstract
A case of invasive mole causing uterine perforation is a rare occurren ce. We describe a patient who had an acute surgical abdomen. Explorati on of the peritoneal cavity revealed uterine perforation and hemoperit oneum. A total abdominal hysterectomy was necessary because of extensi ve uterine wall damage and to ensure hemostasis. Pathologic examinatio n of the tissue revealed an invasive mole with a focal rupture of the uterus.
