Endometrioma is a localized form of endometriosis, usually found within the ovaries bilaterally, containing degenerated blood products resulting from bleeding of ectopic endometriotic tissue at different ages. Rupture of the endometrioma is a rare complication that may result in hemoperitoneum and peritonitis and thus presents similarly to other more common abdominal emergencies, and the concomitant presence of a ruptured endometrioma and another abdominal emergency, although exceptional, remains possible. Ultrasonography and sectional imaging can be used to assess a diagnosis that is often confirmed postoperatively.

Introduction: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a screening and diagnostic modality frequently used in the emergency department to assess patients with abdominal pain.
Case Report: We present a case describing the unusual finding of intraperitoneal fluid with loculations visualized in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen in a patient ultimately diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) with ruptured tubo-ovarian abscess caused by group A streptococcus (GAS), a pathogen rarely implicated in the disease.
Conclusion: Uncommon findings on abdominal POCUS should trigger further investigation.

BACKGROUND Pelvic inflammatory diseases and tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOAs) are rarely seen in non-sexually active (NSA) women. While the pathogenesis of TOA remains unclear, its risk factors include ascending infection of the genital tract, gastrointestinal tract translocation, congenital genitourinary anomalies, as well as virulence of the causative agents, with preceding bacteremia and septicemia. CASE REPORT Herein, we present the case of a 25-year-old female patient who was initially diagnosed with ovarian torsion and underwent diagnostic laparoscopy.
