Spontaneous rupture of mature cystic teratoma is a rare complication which results in leakage of the liquefied sebaceous contents into the peritoneum leading to acute or chronic peritonitis. We report a case of a 23-year-old female who presented with pain abdomen, abdominal distension and fever. Contrast enhanced abdominal CT scan showed right adnexal complex cystic lesion with discontinuity in its wall along with features of peritonitis.

Incisional hernia Complicates only 2%-10%. Spontaneous evisceration of content is very rare but whenever it occurs, it demands emergency surgery, to prevent further obstruction, strangulation of bowel and to cover its contents. The hernial contents can be covered primarily by mesh repair if the general condition of the patient and local condition of the operative site allows or can be covered by skin followed by delayed mesh repair. Authors report such rare case of spontaneous evisceration of omentum in 35 years old female patient who was known case of incisional hernia for 2 years. Neglect for early operative intervention or delay in seeking the treatment for an incisional hernia increases the risk of rupture.

We present a case of spontaneous rupture of the spleen, an uncommon complication of systemic amyloidosis. Amyloid deposition leading to capsular distension and increased vascular fragility is thought to predispose the spleen to rupture spontaneously.

Pyometra is collection of pus within the uterine cavity and is usually associated with underlying gynaecological malignancy or other benign causes. Spontaneous rupture of pyometra is a rare complication. We report a case of a 65-year-old female who presented with acute abdomen and was diagnosed with a ruptured uterus secondary to pyometra and consequent peritonitis on dynamic transvaginal sonography (TVS) which was later confirmed on contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT). An emergency laparotomy was performed and about 800 cc of pus was drained from the peritoneal cavity. A rent was found in the anterior uterine wall and hence hysterectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate with no evidence of malignancy. There are only 31 cases of ruptured pyometra reported till date, most of which were definitively diagnosed only on laparotomy. In only two of these cases the preoperative diagnosis was made on CECT. We report this case, as the correct and definitive diagnosis was made preoperatively on dynamic TVS. To our knowledge,this is the first case report revealing spontaneous ruptured pyometra being diagnosed preoperatively on dynamic TVS. This report is aimed at giving emphasis on the use of simple dynamic TVS for accurate diagnosis of rare spontaneous ruptured pyometra causing peritonitis.

We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the lens capsule in a woman with hypermature cataract, who presented to us with nucleus dislocation in the posterior chamber of her left eye. The capsule had ruptured inferiorly and the nucleus had slided out of it. The anterior chamber was quiet; and no sign of uveitis was noted. She underwent nucleus extraction and IOL implantation in the sulcus. Spontaneous rupture of the anterior lens capsule that leads to dislocation of the nucleus is a rare complication of hypermature cataracts.
