Abstract | Background: Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is generally seen in sexually active women. It is rarely reported in virginal adolescent girls. Case: A 12-year-old virginal girl was referred to us for repeated fever and right lower abdominal pain. She had undergone an appendectomy for a perforated appendix with abscess 5 years previously. Laparoscopic surgery revealed pelvic adhesions associated with TOA in the right pelvis. At 2 months after laparoscopic drainage, she underwent resection of the affected tube with wedge resection of the ipsilateral ovary due to the recurrence of TOA. Summary and conclusion: Late occurrence of TOA should be considered in the differential diagnosis of repeated abdominal pain and fever in virginal adolescent girls with a history of appendectomy for complicated appendicitis, even if the history is remote. |
