Presentation of Case

A 56-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of abdominal pain, a falling hematocrit, and a pelvic mass.

The patient had been well until five days earlier, when there was the onset of pain in the anterior part of the right hemithorax that was aggravated by movement and inspiration, accompanied by mild lower abdominal pain. While getting out of bed she had a brief syncopal episode. On the same day, she saw her physician, who found that the blood pressure was 140/70 mm Hg; there was mild, diffuse tenderness in the lower abdomen. Radiographs of the chest were normal.
