AJR Am J Roentgenol. 1992 Mar;158(3):575-9. doi: 10.2214/ajr.158.3.1738998.

Abstract

Pelvic inflammatory disease with tuboovarian abscess can cause a wide range of radiologic abnormalities. Although the diagnosis of tuboovarian abscess is usually straightforward and is based on clinical and sonographic findings, unusual or unsuspected cases may be confused with other pelvic or abdominal diseases. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the CT findings in tuboovarian abscess.
