Background The rupture of the corpus luteum (CL) may occur at all stages of a woman’s reproductive life. Bleeding of the ruptured CL varies from self-limiting hemorrhage to massive hemoperitoneum, causing the shock and subsequent emergency surgery. But hemoperitoneum secondary to ruptured CL is a rare complication and situation for women with bleeding disorders. Case presentation We here describe a case of severe CL hemorrhage with factor VIII deficiency. We chose conservative management instead of surgery for the abnormal hemostatic condition. With blood product and factor concentrate support, conservative management was successful in avoiding surgery in the episode of bleeding. Conclusion Gynecologist should be alert for the patients with abnormal hemostatic condition. Selective patients presenting with CL hemoperitoneum association with bleeding disorders may undergo conservative management and avoid the risk of surgery.
