Abstract
We present an unusual case of torsion of a paratubal cyst in the mesosalpinx, associated with a defect of the omentum, in which laparoscopic management proved effective. A large paratubal cyst in the left mesometrium which was twisted twice around the defect of the omentum was removed laparoscopically. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. Early diagnosis and treatment by laparoscopy are essential in the management of adnexal torsion.
