Differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis in women of childbearing age is a challenge because of the range of gynecologic and obstetric problems with similar manifestations. We report a case of acute appendicitis with the rarely encountered complication of hemoperitoneum in a sexually active 32-year-old woman. The patient presented with right lower quadrant pain and a positive culdocentesis with non-clotting blood. Hemorrhagic corpus luteal cyst was the initial impression. Ruptured appendicitis with abscess formation and complicated hemoperitoneum was diagnosed later with the aid of abdominal computed tomographic scan, and was confirmed during operation. Hemoperitoneum may be a complication of appendicitis with abscess formation; a detailed medical history and physical examination are helpful in making the diagnosis.
