Ovarian Abscess

The absence of both the classic risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and the triad of cervical motion, uterine or adnexal tenderness does not preclude the diagnosis of PID and tubo-ovarian abscess. The clinical case demonstration presents the perimenopausal woman with complicated clinical course of acute PID.

Ovarian Abscess

The tumor marker CA 125 was initially thought to be specific for ovarian malignancies. Subsequently it was found to be raised in a variety of benign conditions, including pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, tuberculosis and cirrhosis of the liver. With respect to gynecological tumors, CA 125 may be elevated in benign ovarian cysts, tubo-ovarian abscess, endometriosis, hyperstimulation syndrome, ectopic pregnancy and fibroids. These results demonstrate that CA 125 is a marker of non-specific peritoneal conditions.
