A large left – sided tubo – ovarian abscess was found (around 10 cm); it was crumbling and necrotic, filled with a large amount of purulent collection. When hystopathological test was completed, the result reveled not only inflammatory, but malignant ovarian disease as well. Adenocarcinoma endometroides ovarii, HG3 NG2, Endometriosis ovarii.
