Abstract
Peritoneal inclusion cysts are fluid collections among adhesions occurring after an inflammatory process in the peritoneal cavity or after an operation. The typical ultrasound morphology of a peritoneal inclusion cyst is that of a cystic mass following the contours of the pelvis, and with a deformed ovary suspended among adhesions centrally or peripherally in the cyst, and the cyst may contain both septa and papillary projection. So sometimes it is difficult to distinguish an ovarian mass from peritoneal inclusion cyst. We experienced one case of huge peritoneal inclusion cyst caused by chlamydia trachomatis infection and then we report it together with a brief review of literatures.
Key Words: Peritoneal inclusion cyst, Chlamydia trachomatis infection
