Intraperitoneal Bleeding Induced by a Ruptured Inferior Epigastric Artery Pseudoaneurysm following Interval Debulking Surgery for Ovarian Cancer: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Pseudoaneurysm following gynecologic cancer surgery is a rare complication that can become fatal when it ruptures. Common sites of pseudoaneurysms are the external iliac artery, hypogastric artery, and aorta, which are located around the lymphadenectomy site.

We report a case of intraperitoneal bleeding induced by a ruptured IEA pseudoaneurysm following interval debulking surgery for stage IVB ovarian cancer.

Case presentation

The patient underwent total abdominal simple hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, ileocolic resection, and peritonectomy around the ileocecal area after 5 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Th
