Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome mimicking acute biliary disease: A case report

Abstract Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) is a perihepatitis that results from the intraperitoneal extension of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and classically occurs in reproductive-aged women with sexual activity. This syndrome usually presents with right upper quadrant (RUQ) abdominal pain together with lower abdominal pain and vaginal discharge. However, some patients may present with isolated RUQ abdominal pain mimicking other hepatobiliary pathologies and posing a diagnostic challenge to many physicians.
