RESUMEN
El síndrome de Fitz-Hugh-Curtis es una perihepatitis producida por una peritonitis secundaria al ascenso de bacterias, como resultado de una enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica. En la etapa crónica se pueden observar adherencias entre la pared abdominal y la superficie hepática, caracterizadas por la semejanza a "cuerdas de violín". Esta imagen es considerada criterio diagnóstico. Se presenta un caso de hallazgo de síndrome de Fitz-Hugh-Curtis, pesquisado durante la inspección rutinaria de la cavidad abdominopélvica, al finalizar una histerectomía laparoscópica.
