Abstract

Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are reactive, fluid-filled lesions of the peritoneal lining, usually affecting women of reproductive age and with previous abdominal surgeries. Paraovarian cysts, hydrosalpinx, and low-grade cystic mesothelioma are usually considered in the differential diagnosis of PICs. In this case report, we present an 18-year-old female with a known case of bladder exstrophy and chronic urinary incontinence and a previous history of surgical bladder repair. She presented to the emergency department (ED) with urinary incontinence and lower abdominal pain. A computed tomography was ordered for her to rule out hydronephrosis, and incidentally, ovarian cysts were discovered that were then bilaterally excised via laparotomy. Our case report emphasizes the significance of considering such a diagnosis when coming across patients whose risk factors and symptoms match the diagnosis.
