Abstract

The pelvic abscess communicating with the appendix is relatively rare, however, it could be diagnosed preoperatively by various diagnostic modalities such as ultrasonography, computed tomography or laparoscopy. We experienced a case of pelvic abscess presented as a pelvic mass invading vesical wall, and report this unusual presentation with a brief review of literature.
