This case is the first to describe a patient with APML who presented with ruptured corpus luteum without ovarian tissue infiltration with blasts, leading to hemoperitoneum posing as life threatening acute abdominal emergency in a woman belonging to child bearing age. The case is a singular case where APL has presented in such a rare manner.
