Abstract
We report a case of an ovarian abscess that was associated with appendicitis. A 34-year-old woman visited our hospital with the chief complaints of acute abdominal pain and high grade fever. She had no history of sexual exposure. On the basis of the CT and MRI findings, the patient was diagnosed as having appendicitis and a right ovarian abscess. Appendectomy and unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. Based on histopathological examination of the resected specimens, the patient was diagnosed as having an ovarian abscess secondary to chronic appendicitis. There was no evidence of malignancy either in the appendix or in the ovary. Ovarian abscess secondary to appendicitis is rare, therefore, we report this case, with some review of the literature.
