Abstract

Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis is a rare condition characterized by chronic inflammation and destruction of ovarian tissue. This case report describes a 25-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of bleeding, abdominal pain, and fever. Imaging revealed a tubo-ovarian mass, and during surgery, a pus-filled mass adhered to the right ovary was excised. Histopathological examination confirmed xanthogranulomatous oophoritis, and the pus culture showed the presence of coagulase- negative Staphylococcus aureus. This condition is often mistaken for ovarian malignancy and requires surgical removal of the affected ovary. Antibiotic therapy has not been successful in reducing the ovarian mass.
