Abstract
The general surgeon has sometimes to face problems arising from an acute abdomen due to gynecologic causes. Such conditions are mainly found in women in reproductive age; the most frequent pathologies are due to complications of ovarian cysts, perlvic inflammatory disease and extrauterine pregnancy. Some short clinical commentaries are herein presented on two cases of gynecologic acute abdomen: the first case reported is related to an intraperitoneal rupture of a large uterine sarcoma and the second an ovarian neoplasm associated with a diffuse peritonitis from perforation of tubo-ovarian abscess.
