“…The treatment approach for symptomatic PTCs is surgical excision via laparotomy or laparoscopic approach; in case of symptomatic PTCs, excision has not been recommended by some authors [ 18 ]. Laparotomy has been used for giant paratubal cysts excision for multiple reasons including the difficulties with achieving pneumoperitoneum and inserting the trochars and the risk of rupture with no definitive diagnosis.…”

Paratubal cysts are adnexal masses located in the broad ligament; whenever the size of the cyst is >20 cm, it is considered a giant cyst and can present with complications including ovarian torsion and perforation. Diagnosis can be made clinically with the help of radiological investigations, although the gold standard diagnostic tool is diagnostic laparoscopy. Managing this condition relies mainly on surgical intervention (open or laparoscopic). Giant paratubal cysts carry challenges in their surgical excision as they carry a higher risk of spillage. We present a case of giant paratubal cyst in a 26-year-old Bahraini female who presented with abdominal distension and pain for 3 years.

“…7 Although most HMs are asymptomatic and found incidentally during operative procedures for other indications and thus thought to have no clinical significance, they can lead to clinically significant situations like adnexal torsion, malignancy, and infertility. [2][3][4]8 To eliminate the risk of infertility and/or adnexal torsion, some gynecologists have recommended removing HMs that are found incidentally. 5 The prevalence of HM is mostly unknown, and there is no evidence-based consensus among gynecologists concerning the management of these cysts.…”

“…2,4 Pansky et al reported that HMs are involved in 26% of all adolescent cases of adnexal torsion. 3 The torsion of an HM involving the ipsilateral fallopian tube has been implicated as a cause of acute abdominal pain in adolescents. 11 It is not clear how HM contributes to the risk of adnexal torsion, although Cimador et al and Seshadri et al reasoned that HM may result in the free end of the tube becoming heavier, excessively mobile, and more susceptible to rotation.…”

“…1 These small structures are embryonal, pedunculated remnants of Wolffian duct usually located in the terminal part of the fimbria (figure 2). 2 Typically, the hydatid of Morgagni is a small oval or spherical structure that rarely exceeds 1-2 cm in diameter. 3 Torsion in women is very rare and, in most cases, these lesions are discovered incidentally during surgical or laparoscopic procedures performed for other reasons and usually have no clinical significance.…”
