“…Infected endometrioma is a rare entity, and current literature is limited to a small number of case reports [ 1 , 6 , 8 , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] ]. Lower abdominal pain and fever are generally expected clinical findings.…”

“…There is no established standard of care for infected endometriomas [ 25 ]. Antibiotics are usually ineffective, and percutaneous CT-guided or US-guided drainage might lead to intraperitoneal spillage of cyst contents, which could trigger an inflammatory response leading to worsened pelvic pain, adhesions and/or infertility.…”

“…Antibiotics are usually ineffective, and percutaneous CT-guided or US-guided drainage might lead to intraperitoneal spillage of cyst contents, which could trigger an inflammatory response leading to worsened pelvic pain, adhesions and/or infertility. Therefore, laparoscopic cystectomy is often performed [ 19 , 25 ].…”

Acute abdominal pain in women of reproductive age: keys to suggest a complication of endometriosis

et al. 2023

Although endometriosis is a common gynecological condition in women of reproductive age, a complication of endometriosis is rarely considered as the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain in that context. However, acute events in women with endometriosis can represent life-threatening conditions, which require emergent treatment and often surgical management. Mass effect of endometriotic implants can give rise to obstructive complications, specifically occurring in the bowel or in the urinary tract, while inflammatory mediators released by ectopic endometrial tissue can lead to inflammation of the surrounding tissues or to superinfection of the endometriotic implants. Magnetic resonance imaging is the best imaging modality to reach the diagnosis of endometriosis, but an accurate diagnosis is possible on computed tomography, especially in the presence of stellar, mildly enhanced, infiltrative lesions in suggestive areas. The aim of this pictorial review is to provide an image-based overview of key findings for the diagnosis of acute abdominal complications of endometriosis. Graphical Abstract
