Chronic retroperitoneal pelvic abscess in the thigh simulating ovarian carcinoma. A case report.

A recurrent abscess of the thigh, associated with a broad ligament abscess, presented in a postmenopausal woman with cirrhosis of the liver. This unusual complication has not been reported before. The risk of serious morbidity and mortality from the combination of these two coexisting lesions is obvious, and gynecologists and surgeons should be prepared for early surgical intervention.
