Abstract

A 79 female patient presented with acute lower abdominal pain at our emergency department. She described a subjective increase in lower abdominal circumference. Thirty years ago, she had laparoscopic adnexectomy for ovarian fibroma. Transvaginal ultrasound performed at the emergency department revealed high suspicion of a mainly solid mass posterior to the uterus that was obscured by artefacts. The imaging findings showed a well circumscribed mass on the right-side posterior to the uterus, the histological report confirmed an ovarian fibroma after the laparoscopic resection.
