Acute post‐traumatic dermoid peritonitis: A rare entity

Rupture of ovarian dermoid‐cyst is rare case. We report the case of a woman admitted for acute post‐traumatic abdominal pain due to ruptured ovarian cyst. The patient was operated and we found a very abundant peritoneal effusion with left ovarian cyst which was broken. we performed a left adnexectomy. Rupture of an ovarian teratoma with dermoid peritonitis is a diagnosis that we should think of in case of an acute peritonitis in a women whatever her age is. It is a rare diagnosis especially when have eliminate other diagnosis such as appendicitis, cholecystits, or bowel perforation.
