Sumario: | Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome is a rare disorder manifesting as a complication associated with Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. The initial presentation generally consists of concomitant right upper quadrant and lower abdominal pain. This syndrome is characterized by inflammation of the peritoneum with the involvement of hepatic capsule and the tissues surrounding the liver. Intrahepatic involvement is rare and not yet well investigated. An accurate interpretation of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings is missing in the literature. This report presents a case of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome in which Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed a region of heterogeneously decreased enhancement and abnormal signal intensity within the liver mimicking a lesion. |
