A Rare Intra-abdominal Cystic Mass in the Neonatal Period: Ovarian Auto-amputation

Abstract

Torsion of an adnexia may cause to infarction, necrosis and subsequent amputation of the ovary. An amputated ovary gets calcification and may freely float in the abdominal cavity. We present an amputated ovary in an 4-days-old female newborn with antenatal ultrasound and postnatal computed tomography findings. In the differential diagnosis of intraabdominal cystic masses with variable localization, an amputated over should be considered.
