Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Please, this question needs more specifics. At least the sex of the patient. The differential involve the various organs present in this area. This is mainly the descending colon and reproductive organs in a female. It could be a cancerous process as well as an inflammatory condition like diverticulitis, tubal abscess, etc. You need to provide more information if you want this differential to be narrowed down.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be.
