Abstract EN
Spontaneous perforation is a very rare complication of pyometra.
The clinical findings of perforated pyometra are similar to perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and other causes of acute abdomen.
In most cases, a correct and definite diagnosis can be made only by laparotomy.
We report two cases of diffuse peritonitis caused by spontaneous perforated pyometra.
The first case is a 78-year-old woman with abdominal pain for which laparotomy was performed because of suspected incarcerated hernia.
The second case is a 61-year-old woman with abdominal pain for which laparotomy was performed because of symptoms of peritonitis.
At laparotomy of both cases, 1 liter of pus with the source of uterine was found in the abdominal cavity.
The ruptured uterine is also detected.
More investigations revealed no malignancy as the reason of the pyometra.
