Abstract

A middle-aged patient, without any positive personal or familial history was urgently hospitalized and, after primary diagnostic procedures, treated by surgery for torsion and acute abdomen. During the procedure, torsioned ovarian cyst and a probable perforated omental cyst were found. Primary ovarian cancer and secondary polycystic metastatic echoes of the omentum were established by histopathology.
