We describe a case of acute pelvic pain with an unusual etiology.\nCASE:\nA 40-year-old multipara presented within hours of the onset of acute pelvic pain. She was treated conservatively with analgesics after computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a ruptured ovarian cyst. Upon return to the emergency room, she was admitted to a gynecologic service for pain control. The etiology of her acute pelvic pain eventually declared itself.\nCONCLUSION:\nThe differential diagnosis of acute pelvic pain represents a variety of organ systems.\nCopyright © 2006 by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
