Abstract

We report the case of a patient with a pelvic abscess and a malignant pancreatic tumor. The management of this complicated diverticulitis included radiological drainage and surgery. This abscess was due to a peritoneal carcinomatosis originating from the pancreas, which is an extremely rare cause of intestinal perforation.
Keywords: carcinomatosis; pelvic abscess; perforation carcinomatosis; pelvic abscess; perforation
