Xanthogranulomatous oophoritis is a very rare etiology of ovarian masses. Xanthogranulomatous inflammation commonly affects kidney, gallbladder, anorectal area, bone, stomach, ovaryand testis. It is a rare condition with very few cases reported in literature. A 20 years old woman was referred for chronic pelvic pain; supra-pubic ultrasonography showed a well-defined image of a large right adnexal mass, abdomio-pelvic scan showed an ovarian mass in touch with the small bowel, salpingo-oophorectomywas performed. Histological examination of the surgical pieces was consistent with xanthogranulomatous oophoritis. The etiology of this entity is still unknown.
