Hemoperitoneum due to bleeding from a vessel on a uterine fibroid is very rare. We report a case of hemoperitoneum in a 32-year-old Ghanaian woman who collapsed due to hemoperitoneum from a bleeding vessel on a pedunculated fibroid. Urgent resuscitation followed by laparotomy for myomectomy was performed successfully. Clinicians especially in sub-Saharan Africa where uterine fibroids are endemic should be aware of this rare complication of fibroids to avoid delay in diagnosis and to prevent morbidity and mortality.
