Abstract
Paratubal cysts (PTCs) are remnants of paramesonephric or mesonephric ducts and mostly benign. Paraovarian and paratubal cysts are used synonymously. These masses have been reported in all age groups, beginning from premenarchial period up to menopause, but most commonly are seen in the third and fourth decades of life. A 14- year-old girl wih flegmonous appendicitis diagnosed and treated during the management of PTC is presented and discussed.
