A 24-year-old male presented with mild fever, right lower quadrant pain and absent peritoneal irritation for a week, 3 months after LA for AA.

Percutaneous drainage was not feasible because of the limited size of liquefied content at ultrasound. After antibiotic treatment, the lesion decreased in size at repeated MDCT (d) and ultimately resolved
