: A 61 year old patient consulted for lower abdominal pain. Vaginal sonogram showed a 6 centimeters cystic mass in pelvis and normal uterus. Colonoscopy showed images of compression and normal mucosae. The blood studies (hematology, white cell blood count, creatinine, urea) and tumor maker levels were within normal range. Surgical exploration revealed a sigmoid diverticulum abscess and appendicitis, with normal ovaries.
