Abstract

The present case highlights the potential of misdiagnosis of functional cysts in young females presenting with acute abdominal pain and radiological findings consistent with other common gastrointestinal and urological disorders. A young female suffers bouts of acute abdominal pain. Initially, no radiological or clinical abnormalities were observed. Later, the patient developed signs of systemic infection and underwent two laparoscopic surgeries. Diagnosis of haemorrhagic corpus luteal cyst was established on histopathology. It is essential to thoroughly investigate acute abdominal pain as one of the differentials for ovarian cysts. Always consult a gynaecologist to rule out reproductive diseases in young females.
