Popis: We report a case of acute abdomen due to puncture of a dermoid cyst during oocyte aspiration, which required laparotomy. A woman who had undergone an in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer required hospitalization due to onset of an acute abdomen. An ultrasonographic scan showed a pelvic mass with the features of dermoid cyst. The patient required diagnostic laparotomy which confirmed the presence of a ruptured dermoid cyst with subsequent peritonitis.
