ABSTRACT
Torsion of an ovarian tumor is a rare gynecological emergency. It is caused by rotation of the affected organ on its pedicle, which restricts vascularization. Timely surgery avoids complications. It is rare in over 15mm ovarian tumors. This is a 47 years-old premenopausal patient who went to the emergency service of “Maria Eugenia Gonzales” comprehensive diagnosis center because she presented with acute pain in the mesogastrium and hypogastrium and vomiting. The physical examination revealed sizeable distention of her abdomen due to palpable tumor with upper limit at umbilical level. Scanning tests showed torsion of 32 x 22cm cystic ovarian tumor. She was operated on by using right oophorectomy supplemented with prophylactic appendicectomy through invagination.REFERENCES
