Background: Retroperitoneal leiomyomas (RLs) are rare benign tumours that can occur in the pelvic and/or abdominal parietal retroperitoneum. Once torsion occurs, it causes acute abdominal pain and can even lead to serious consequences such as gangrene, peritonitis, haemoperitoneum and shock if not identified and treated promptly. Therefore, a better understanding of the characteristics of RL torsion is needed.

Although he subsequently stabilised in the intensive care unit, his inflammatory markers were noted to uptrend again requiring a relook procedure which revealed evidence of progressive necrosis in the right inguinal region.
