title: Hemoperitoneum in a postmenopausal woman.
abstract: As the number of postmenopausal women increases, physicians will have more opportunities to treat elderly women with gynecological complications. This case report describes a 76-year-old, obese, multiparous woman, known to have gallstones who presented with acute abdomen complaints and was admitted for observation. Treatment was delayed until significant blood loss was recognized. At laparotomy, a ruptured ovarian granulosa cell tumor was found.
