“…Paraovarian cysts are usually single, but bilateral lesions have been reported as in our case. Our patient had a pelvic mass for some time but to us she presented with abdominal pain, a similar situation has been reported where an additional MRI was done as well and preoperative diagnosis of fimbrial cyst was made 6 . The twisted fimbrial cyst was diagnosed only at laparotomy.…”

A case of bilateral fimbrial cyst with torsion of right side is presented, occurring in a 32 year old female. She presented in outpatient department with pain abdomen and feeling of mass in lower abdomen since six months. Initial assessment of ovarian cyst was made. Ultrasound showed cystic structures in left adnexa and complex cyst in right adnexa. Laprotomy was performed and bilateral fimbrial cysts in fallopian tubes were identified with torsion on right side which was subsequently confirmed on histopathology. Although huge fimbrial cysts with torsion of fallopian tube is rare, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of abdominal mass with pain in females. IntroductionFimbrial (Paraovarian) cysts represent approximately 10%of adnexal masses.

Multimodality imaging in adnexal torsion

et al. 2014

Adnexal torsions are one among the causes of acute pelvic pain in females. Commonly occurring adnexal torsions are ovarian either involving the normal ovary with functional cysts or an associated mass. Fallopian tube torsions, torsions involving paraovarian, fimbrial cysts and subserosal fibroids are rare. Here we discuss the multimodality imaging approach for the diagnosis of adnexal torsion, its limitations and mimics.

“…5 Furthermore, torsion of para ovarian and para fimbrial cysts may also occur. 6,7 The differential diagnosis of adnexal torsion includes a list of gynecological conditions, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), twisted ovarian cyst and degenerated myoma, as well as nongynecological conditions, such as acute appendicitis. 8 Because the clinical symptoms of adnexal torsion are nonspecific, the diagnosis is considered to be difficult, and a correct preoperative diagnosis is made in only 44% of cases.…”
