“…PID is a polymicrobial infection characterized by inflammation of the upper genital tract, including endometritis, salpingitis and pelvic peritonitis [6][7][8][9]. Secondary TOA can rarely arise from inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, appendicitis, pelvic surgery, pelvic malignancy, or ovarian hyperstimulation [10,11].…”

A 20-year-old woman, who presented with a several-week history of abdominal pain, was referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) after an ultrasound showed complex cystic masses arising from both ovaries. The MRI and 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging characteristics of the ovarian masses were strongly suspicious for malignancy, and the masses were surgically removed. Histopathological evaluation revealed a bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess, with no evidence of malignancy. This case highlights a potentially serious pitfall in the evaluation of suspicious pelvic masses by 18 F-FDG PET/CT, whereby a complex bilateral tubo-ovarian abscess may mimic the PET/CT imaging characteristics of an ovarian or pelvic malignancy.

“…CT is usually the imaging modality when the diagnosis is uncertain after ultrasound imaging; the concomitant involvement of the retroperitoneum and the ovary is depicted. 2,9 However, MRI is the most precise tool to determine the location of origin of a pelvic mass, to characterize an adnexal mass, and to detect the local spread. 2,9 TOA can also be associated with abscesses retroperitoneal in pelvis, gluteal area and thigh.…”

A Case in which Laparoscopic Bilateral Salpingo-Oohorectomy was Indispensable due to Bilateral Tubo-Ovairan Abscesses in a Young Woman

Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) requires admission to hospital, i.v. antibiotics and, possibly, aspiration or surgery. A 35-year-old woman who was G2P1 was brought into the emergency department because of acute abdomen. A transvaginal ultrasonography demonstrated bilateral cystic adnexal tumors and a moderate amount of ascites suspected to be puss. Laparoscopic examination revealed that the left and right adnexa each formed an inflammatory mass. The left and right tubo-ovarian abscesses both formed masses, and the ovaries were indistinguishable from the tubes and other inflammatory tissues. Laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was indispensable. Bacterial culture showed no bacterial growth. Performance of laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was indispensable due to bilateral tubo-ovarian abscesses in this patient.
