In case of no response to treatment of pelvik inflamatory disease and tubo-ovarian abcess, a parasitic infection's appropriate treatment should be kept in mind. A mass was spotted on the right pelvic side of a patient presented in this particular case. All tumor markers were in normal range except CA 19,9. The laparoscopic(L/S) approach was chosen as surgical technique and a right adnexectomy was performed. During L/S a wide adhesion site was observed between the anterior abdominal wall and the pfannenstiel incision region. Frozen section revealed a benign cystic lesion. Parasitic infection should be kept in mind in case of adnexial masses. Our patient was in postmenopausal state with no fertility desire. Furthermore this infection might be seen among the young population and might cause fertility problems.
