Bilateral endometrioma of ovary in a 25-year-old woman with unilateral autoamputation and contralateral torsion of ovary: A case report

Key Points

Bilateral endometrioma was found alongside unilateral autoamputation of the ovary.
A critical metric involves recognizing torsion which prevents fertility complications; the evaluation must be thorough.
Observational analysis noted that clinicians should assess adnexal masses cautiously to avoid unnecessary surgery.
This case emphasizes the importance of preserving fertility through appropriate diagnostic measures.

Abstract

Clinicians should consider spontaneous autoamputation of the adnexa as a potential condition in women presenting with adnexal masses even in the absence of prior abdominal pain. Before undertaking destructive procedures such as adnexectomy or enucleation, a thorough evaluation of the bilateral ovaries should be performed to preserve future fertility.
