description INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) is presented with multiple clinical manifestations including gastrointestinal findings. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we present a case of complicated diverticulitis that was misdiagnosed as TOA, owing to overlapping genital involvement. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Imaging could be misleading in these patients as a result of severe inflammation of intestines and surrounding organs. CONCLUSION: Patients who do not respond to antibiotic treatment should be suspected of other gastrointestinal pathologies such as diverticulitis and should be evaluated accordingly.
