description Tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) are commonly associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) caused by sexually transmitted infections (STI). There have been several reports of adolescent non-sexually active female patients diagnosed with TOAs. Symptoms of TOAs often mimic appendicitis and have often been diagnosed as such. We present a case of a 12-year-old non-sexually active adolescent who was initially diagnosed with ruptured appendicitis and found to have a TOA engulfing the appendix.
