Xanthogranulomatous Oophoritis is an uncommon form of chronic inflammation of genitourinary system. The exact aetiology of this entity is unknown, but it shares similar histopathological findings to those occurring in various other organs, including the gallbladder and kidney. It is often mistaken for ovarian malignancy clinically and radiologically. A vigilant histopathological evaluation is important to diagnose the disease. The current case is of 38-year-old, premenopausal female who presented with fever and lower abdominal pain. The case was suspected as bilateral malignant adnexal mass by imaging and tumor marker studies. Final diagnosis of bilateral xanthogranulomatous oophoritis was established after histopathological examination.
