title: [Ovarian abscess. Report of 2 cases].
abstract: Ovarian abscess is very rare and is usually a complication of acute purulent salpingitis. It can however rarely be isolated. Wilson and Black found 28 cases of 75,262 women who were admitted to the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics in Philadelphia between 1948 and 1963. There are only 120 cases in the literature. We report here two cases of abscess of the ovary which were operated in our department at an interval of one month.
