title: [Hemoperitoneum secondary to spontaneous rupture of metastatic liver of a testicular germ cell tumor].
abstract: We report a case of hemoperitoneum secondary to a spontaneous rupture of liver metastases of a testicular germ cell cancer. In clinical practice, some aetiologies must be considered in case of spontaneous hemoperitoneum, mainly rupture of liver tumors: hepatocellular carcinoma or unfrequently benign tumors; the rupture of a metastase is very uncommon. The main interest of this case report is to point to the possibility of curative option in some cases of metastatic diseases.
