Paratubal cysts may mimic ovarian cysts, and most of them are diagnosed postoperatively. They originate from the mesosalpinx between the ovary and the fallopian tube. Only a few are large, and most paratubal cysts are less than 10 cm. We report a huge paratubal cyst in a 30-year-old woman, whose only preoperative complaint was abdominal distention over 4 months. Conservative surgery was performed with cyst removal while preserving the ovaries and tubes. A paratubal cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis of a large pelvic masses, especially in the reproductive age.

Introduction And Importance: Paratubal cysts are common adnexal lesions that can lead to complications such as torsion, especially during pregnancy, presenting diagnostic challenges due to symptom overlap with acute surgical emergencies. This study details the clinical characteristics and management of paratubal cyst torsion through a case report and literature review.
Case Presentation: A 29-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation presented with right iliac fossa pain and nausea.

Background: Premenopausal females with signs of androgen excess and oligomenorrhea are commonly evaluated for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or for an androgen-secreting tumor if a pelvic mass is present. Ovarian hyperthecosis (OHT) as a cause of these symptoms in adolescents is rare.
Case: A 15-year-old female with primary amenorrhea and signs of virilization was referred to Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology after pelvic imaging demonstrated a pelvic mass, suspected to be arising from the right ovary, and an adjacent paratubal cyst.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on isolated tubal torsion (ITT), a surgical emergency that is not as well understood as ovarian torsion.
- Researchers reviewed medical records of patients with ITT and ovarian torsion from January 2019 to November 2022, analyzing demographics, imaging, and outcomes.
- Findings revealed that ITT patients had lower diagnostic imaging success compared to those with ovarian torsion, with significant differences in associated cysts and the urgency for surgical intervention.

Heterotopic pregnancy involves the coexistence of both an intrauterine and an extrauterine pregnancy occurring simultaneously. The spontaneous incidence of heterotopic pregnancy in the general population has been estimated to be 1/30,000. This report discusses the case of a 37-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain.

Adnexal torsion during pregnancy is rare and is complicated by ambiguous symptoms and often nonspecific imaging findings. Differential diagnoses of torsion include a ruptured ovarian cyst, tubo-ovarian abscess, and appendicitis. A low threshold for the recommended surgical laparoscopy is necessary to avoid delayed diagnosis and fetal or maternal complications.
