This paper reports a very rare clinical case describing the development of a tuba-ovarian torsion arising in the setting of an endometrioma, presented as a case-based narrative rather than a cohort or experimental study. The manuscript emphasizes the association between torsion and an endometrioma, but the primary limitation is that it provides only a single case without generalizable incidence, comparative outcomes, or mechanistic testing. Diagnostic and background discussion draws on broader endometriosis literature, including distinctions among endometriosis-related entities and epidemiology of endometriosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it documents tuba-ovarian torsion in endometrioma.

Abstract

Endometriosis is increasingly diagnosed in women of reproductive age and is estimated to affect up to 10% of women. Endometriomas are a common antithesis in patients of reproductive age and require special planning and experience for optimal treatment. Endometroma in rare cases occurs with an acute abdominal picture. However, adnexal torsion is very rare in these patients. Because endometriomas are often tightly adherent to neighboring structures, and therefore they seem less likely to cause adnexal torsion, although there is insufficient data on the torsion rate in these cysts. With this case report, we thought to contribute to the literature with the case of torsion in endometrioma.
