One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Ovarian abscess is a rare gynaecological diagnosis. The case reported is the one of an unexplained fever with a strong physical alteration during more than 14 days occurring around the menopause, at the age of 54. It has been discovered an ovarian tumour which was, infact, an infected endometrioma. The patient never complained from endometriosis during her reproductive life. She had no other risk factor for ovarian abscess.
