A tubo-ovarian abscess is a rare presentation in non-sexually active adolescents; only 11 cases have been reported in the literature. Variable approaches for diagnosis and management are described. We present a 19-year-old, non-sexually active, medically free girl, who had an abdominopelvic mass with abdominal pain and vomiting followed by fever. She had a confusing presentation of malignancy versus tuberculosis, with the help of imaging, diagnosis and treatment with percutaneous drainage, conservative treatment was achieved. Diagnosis of a tubo-ovarian abscess is difficult in non-sexually active adolescents, a high clinical index of suspicion is important as misdiagnosis may lead to radical and aggressive management, conservative management is possible in many of these patients.
