Abstract

An ovarian abscess is an uncommon surgical emergency that could be lethal. The causes of an ovarian abscess vary, and treatment thereof may unfortunately lead to an oophorectomy. In order to draw the attention of physicians to this rare entity, we present a case of ovarian abscess resulting from follicle aspiration for in-vitro fertilization. Furthermore, with correct preoperative diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention at an early stage, the affected ovary may be salvageable.
