We report a rare case of a spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein which was then surgically treated with good results. A 66-year-old woman was admitted complaining of leg swelling and lower abdominal pain. On the 3rd day after admission, an operation was performed because of a gradually increasing hematoma in the retroperitoneal space. Laparotomy revealed a 17 mm longitudinal tear on the anterior surface of the left external iliac vein with a thrombus inside the lumen. Most of the previously reported 14 cases of this nature have required emergency operations.
