Abstract
A 30-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of low abdominal pain. A palpable low abdominal mass was noted. Pregnancy was ruled out, and an abdominal plain film and ultrasound study were performed. US detected a multiloculated cystic mass, and on this basis, contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic CT was carried out.
