“…9 Till date, no study has yet shown a correlation between prostate cancer and hepatorrhexis, although two cases of testicular and renal cancer have been reported. [10][11][12][13][14] To our knowledge, the present study is the first report describing spontaneous rupture of liver metastasis caused by mHSPC. It is pertinent to mention that among mHSPC cases, liver metastasis occurred only in 1-5% of the cases 2-5 reflecting the rarity of spontaneous rupture of liver in mHSPC as compared to HCC-related liver ruptures that occur in 4.8-26% of the cases.…”

“…Recent studies have indicated that primary tumors of lung, pancreas, skin, stomach, kidney, testis and prostate may result in secondary liver metastases and its subsequent rupture 9 . Till date, no study has yet shown a correlation between prostate cancer and hepatorrhexis, although two cases of testicular and renal cancer have been reported 10–14 . To our knowledge, the present study is the first report describing spontaneous rupture of liver metastasis caused by mHSPC.…”

“…There are only a few reported cases in the literature of acute hemoperitoneum secondary to the rupture of liver metastases [3-9] originating from different sources. These sources include nasopharyngeal cancer [5], gastric cancer [6], lung cancer [7], renal cell carcinoma [8] and carcinoma of the liver [9]. …”

IntroductionAcute hemoperitoneum as a result of hemorrhage from liver metastases is an uncommon but serious condition. The use of appropriate imaging is important in the diagnosis and can have a profound impact on subsequent management. This case is important because the presentation was of recurrent syncopal episodes with an unusual underlying cause. This case highlights the need to consider this diagnosis in the differential in patients presenting with collapse in the acute setting.Case presentationWe present the case of an 85-year-old Caucasian man who was admitted following a collapse episode and was found to be persistently hypotensive despite aggressive resuscitation. An acute intra-peritoneal bleed originating from hepatic metastases from an unknown primary was identified promptly with computed tomography imaging and was subsequently managed conservatively.ConclusionsThis case aims to convey key teaching points: (A) the need to consider intra-abdominal hemorrhage in the differential diagnosis when assessing patients with collapse; and (B) the use of appropriate imaging such as computed tomography can facilitate a prompt diagnosis and appropriate management steps can then be taken accordingly.
