An 18-year-old female presented with right-sided lower abdominal pain, white discharge per vagina (PV), and intermittent burning micturition. Imaging revealed a large cystic lesion in the pelvis, prompting diagnostic laparoscopy to confirm a peritoneal inclusion cyst (PIC), with intraoperative findings of severe adhesions and organ involvement. Cyst drainage and deroofing were then performed. Postoperatively, the patient experienced symptom relief and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Regular follow-ups revealed no recurrence. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges, surgical management, and favourable outcomes of rare peritoneal inclusion cysts in a young female. Timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention led to the resolution of symptoms and favourable clinical outcomes. Individualised treatment and close monitoring are crucial to achieve a successful clinical course. Further research is needed to enhance the understanding and management strategies for such uncommon conditions.
