- Abstract
Most tubo-ovarian abscesses are due to complications associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. However, a minority are secondary to other processes such as neoplasms or intraabdominal pathologies. A case of tubo-ovarian abscess is presented, in a 36-yearold woman, previously operated on for appendectomy. Granulicatella adiacens, a microorganism not usually involved in this type of infection, grew in the culture of the drainage material of the abscess. After the description of the case, the etiology of the tuboovarian abscesses and the peculiarities of the microorganism involved are discussed.
