All that Torse is Not an Ovary: Ferreting Torsed Subserosal Fibroidin a Flurry of Fibroids: A Case Report
<p class="p1">Adnexal structures that can undergo torsion include the ovary, isolated fallopian tube, <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>both tube and ovary, broad ligament leiomyoma, and pedunculated leiomyoma. Torsion of a subserosal leiomyoma, like ovarian torsion, demands prompt surgical attention to avoid further complications like infection and peritonitis. Here, the authors provide an overview of a 35-year-old patient who was suspected of having an ovarian torsion. On ultrasound, there were multiple intramural and subserosal leiomyomas with normal ovaries. One of the pedunculated subserosal leiomyomas showed altered morphology suspicious for torsion. The diagnosis for leiomyoma torsion was further confirmed on MRI and later correlated with the intraoperative findings.
