Abstract :
Diffuse peritonitis in elderly women is a serious condition which is associated with greater morbidity and mortality. Spontaneous perforation of Pyometra is a rare cause of peritonitis in females especially in the elderly and pyometra due to cervical cancer is very rare. We report a case of 60 year old female in whom preoperative diagnosis of peritonitis was made clinically. On exploration ,perforation of the fundus of uterus was identified ,that was subsequently proved to be due to pyometra which is secondary to cervical cancer of stage III B. Primary closure of perforation with peritoneal lavage and drainage was done. Patient improved clinically and was referred to cancer hospital for chemoradiotherapy
