    Abstract:
    Pyometra, an accumulation of purulent material in the uterus, is a rare pathologic entity. Spontaneous rupture of pyometra occurred secondary to degenerating leiomyomata; that is an extremely rare complication. Pyometra, the diagnosis of which is based on the classic symptoms of uterine enlargement, vaginal discharge and acute abdomen, requires rapid supportive therapy and surgical intervention.
