Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) is commonly associated with genital tract infection and presents as an inflammation and infection of the liver capsule. The clinical manifestation typically includes an acute onset of right upper quadrant (RUQ) abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) characteristically shows increased enhancement along the hepatic surface in the arterial phase and perihepatic fat stranding in the portal phase.
We report an eccentric case of FHCS which unusually occurred after removal of a peritoneal catheter. A 59-yearold woman with diabetic nephropathy started automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) in 2015 because of end-stage kidney disease. While maintaining APD, she suffered from 3 episodes of peritonitis from 2015 to 2018.
