Fitz-Hugh-Curtis’s syndrome (FHCS) is defined as an inflammation of the liver capsule associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Here, we report a case of FHCS of a 37-year-old woman, presented with a history of the right upper quadrant (RUQ) abdominal pain. Physical examination revealed RUQ abdominal tenderness and vaginal secretions, pelvic pain that was denied by the patient. The diagnosis has been raised and a computed tomography (CT) scan was realized showing inflammatory changes in both pelvic and perihepatic regions.
Keywords: Abdominal pain, Liver capsule, Pelvic inflammatory disease, Tomography scanners
