They are usually associated to pelvic collections, fistulas, urinary tract stenosis and, exceptionally, necrotizing fasciitis (FN) and pelvic organ necrosis. There is no well-codified treatment.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 42-year-old female patient, was referred to our department for a stage IIIC2 adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. Two months after surgery, the patient presented with fever. Abdominal CT scan revealed a recto-vaginal fistula. The patient underwent a surgical evacuation of the collection and a bypass colostomy.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>Post-operative period was marked by the occurrence of an extensive necrosis to pelvic organs and medial left leg\u2019s thigh compartments muscles. She also presented a thrombosis of the left external iliac vein and artery.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>Given the septic conditions, a revascularization procedure was not feasible. A bilateral ureterostomy was required and a ligature of the left external iliac vessels.

There are predisposing factors such as diabetes, neoadjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
