From a series of 6,573 echographic surveys of pelvis in male and female, the authors point out 789 liquid images among them 82 are non gynecologic lesions. A statistical study of the different observed etiologies is proposed and compared with those of the literature. The main cases observed are gathered under several items: abscess, hematomas, urinary, digestive and vascular images and studied semiologically. The discussion points out the low frequency in opposition to the etiological diversity of this type of image and precise the diagnostic procedures rules which include other imaging methods especially computed tomography.
