Abstract
-
Tuboovarian abscess associated with pregnancy is not commonly reported. Diagnosis may be difficult if the obstetrician is not aware that this condition can occur during pregnancy. The diagnosis is often made at laparotomy by a physician expecting appendicitis or another inflam-matory condition. A case of ruptured tuboovarian abscess on 34 weeks' gestation of pregnancy was presented and reviewed briefly.
