Ruptured corpus luteum cyst

Discussion:

The differential of a spontaneous hemoperitoneum in a young female is between ruptured corpus luteum cyst or ruptured ectopic pregnancy, with the beta HCG test being an important differentiator as they can look identical on imaging studies. At surgery, a ruptured corpus luteum cyst was confirmed.
