Its presence may be suspected in a patients after surgery, carrying IUD, having intraperitoneal infection and pregnancy. If an abscess is present, a tubo-ovarian abscess is much more common, except in pregnancy. For the last 110 years only 120 cases of ovarian abscesses have been reported in the Literature.
