Amputated ovarian torsion cyst in an infant: ultrasound and CT findings

Abstract

We present ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) findings of an amputated ovarian torsion cyst in an 11-months-old female infant. The cyst contained fluid-debris level, multiple septa and punctate calcifications. Laparotomy revealed a free-floating amputated cystic mass originating from the right adnexa. Although, foci of dystrophic calcifications secondary to hemorrhage have been well demonstrated by US in ovarian torsion cysts, this is the first case of amputated ovarian torsion cyst with punctate calcifications demonstrated by CT.
