Acute abdomen with hemoperitoneum in childbearing age group due to obstetrical reasons is common but it?s extremely rare for a woman with gynaecological conditions. In women presenting with hemoperitoneum with acute abdomen and no history of trauma with pregnancy ruled out granulosa cell tumor should be kept in the differential diagnosis. Measurement of markers and frozen section should be readily available to diagnose this rare tumor as well as to prevent incomplete resection.We report a rare case of ruptured granulosa tumor of the ovary. She presented with acute abdomen due to hemoperitoneum.
