Abstract
EDITORIAL COMMENT: This is a strange case and informs us that bleeding from endometriosis can be life‐threatening. We are given no clue concerning the apparently erroneous ultrasonographic finding of a 9 times 5 x 4 cm adnexal mass, the presence of which was not confirmed at laparotomy. Our reviewer commented that a haemoperitoneum without adequate explanation requires careful exclusion of upper abdominal pathology such as ruptured spleen or haemorrhage from a splenic artery aneurysm which are well‐documented causes of morbidity and death in obstetrics and gynaecology.
