description INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in healthy males is an extremely rare, life threatening emergency condition with high mortality and morbidity, if not diagnosed and managed early.

DISCUSSION: To suspect and diagnose the condition is a challenge for clinician if ambiguity in presentation prevails. CONCLUSION: The most important strategy in management of equivocal cases is early surgical exploration to establish the diagnosis and treat accordingly.
