title: [Peri-hepatitis abscess secondary to pelvic peritonitis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the case of a 42-year-old patient referred for exploration of a tumor of the right flank and evidence of inflammation.
  
  
  METHODS
  and methods. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a liver mass associated with a heterogeneous adnexal mass. Serum CA-125 was elevated and ovarian cancer with liver metastasis was suspected. An alternative diagnosis was salpingitis complicated by Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome in this patient wearing an intra-uterine contraceptive device.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Exploratory laparoscopy was performed and confirmed the diagnosis of salpingitis complicated by an ovarian abscess and Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome with rare abscess formation. Outcome was favorable after adapted antibiotic treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome can take on an atypical aspect and should be entertained as a possible diagnosis in young women presenting pain of the right flank and fever.
