Coexistence of tubo-ovarian abscess with adnexal torsion in a virgin patient with a history of 10 cm endometrioma: Case report

Abstract

Tubo-ovarian abscess and adnexal torsion are uncommon causes of gynecological emergencies. Here, we reported a case of coexistence of tubo-ovarian abscess with adnexal torsion in a virgin patient. Tubo-ovarian abscess can be diagnosed in women even if they are virgin or sexually inactive and large ovarian masses, no matter solid or cystic, must be treated when they are diagnosed. Although tubo-ovari an abscess and adnexal torsion are rare gynecological disorders in patients with lower abdominal pain, they are always have to be kept in mind for differential diagnosis.
