Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Pelvic abscess is considered as one of the terminal complication of intra-abdominal or pelvic pathology which is extremely rare in male patients.1 This is a case report of intra-abdominal pelvic abscess in a male patient with unknown source and suspected atypical mycobacterial etiology. A 25 year old male chronic alcoholic presented with lower abdominal pain and distension for two weeks duration associated with on-off diarrhea, with no history of weight loss or anorexia. On examination, patient was hemodynamically stable and on per abdominal examination, there was a palpable supra pubic swelling associated with tenderness reaching upto umbilicus which was present even after catheterisation. Ultrasound showed pelvic collection which was confirmed to be pelvic abscess by CECT abdomen. Percutaneous drainage under ultrasound guidance was done and around 300ml of frank pus was drained out. Culture reports showed direct smear AFB positive even though no AFB growth was seen. Patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged with advice for regular follow up.
