Percutaneous drainage of an infected endometrioma.

Endometrioma superinfection is uncommon and poorly described in the literature. This rarity has precluded agreement on optimal management, with most authors treating these lesions as endometriomas rather than abscesses and thus recommending laparoscopic or open cystectomy or oophorectomy. We present a minimally-invasive alternative, illustrated in the case of an infected endometrioma which was successfully managed via image-guided percutaneous drainage.
