Abstract EN
Background.
Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is an uncommon affection of the female genital tract.
The youngest case reported of xanthogranulomatous salpingooophoritis in literature was by Shilpa et al.
in 2013 in an eighteen-year-old female.
Case Report.
We report a case of 2-year-old female child with right-sided xanthogranulomatous salpingooophoritis presented as mass in abdomen.
This is a case report of the youngest documented case of xanthogranulomatous salpingooophoritis in literature.
As per abdominal examination, there was generalized distention of abdomen and a mass was palpable which was arising out of pelvis more on the right side.
The ultrasonography (USG) abdomen and pelvis revealed a thick-walled mass measuring 9.2 cm × 6.0 cm × 7.6 cm in pelvis.
We did right salpingooophorectomy of the patient.
On histopathology, the diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous salpingooophoritis was confirmed.
Conclusion.
Clinical presentation, radiological appearance, and gross features of xanthogranulomatous lesions of ovary can mimic neoplastic lesions and lead to misdiagnosis.
Though, it is very rare in pediatric age group, xanthogranulomatous salpingooophoritis as one of the differential diagnoses should be kept in mind while dealing with tuboovarian masses in this age group.
