title: Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis secondary to talcum powder. Case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the ovary (xanthogranulomatous oophoritis) is a rare condition, usually representing a complication of tubo-ovarian abscess following pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). We report a case of xanthogranulomatous oophoritis that occurred in a 31-year-old Lebanese lady, eight years following an open appendectomy as a reaction to talcum powder present on surgical gloves.
