The routine schedule of antenatal ultrasound scans has led to an increased frequency of detection of foetal ovarian cysts.

Purpose: Antenatal auto-amputation of the ovary is an extremely rare event, and its diagnosis is difficult. We aimed to retrospectively review the cases with antenatal auto-amputation, where the diagnosis was made based on detection of free-floating cyst during surgery.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with auto-amputated ovary during the surgery between 2012 and 2021 were included in the study.
