Amputated calcified ovaries in children
Radiology
|October 1, 1981
Abstract:
A calcified abdominal mass was an identical finding in four asymptomatic girls, ages 2 weeks to 9 years. At laparotomy the right ovary was absent, and in three patients the ipsilateral oviduct was at least partially absent. The most likely explanation is antenatal or subclinical torsion of the adnexa with subsequent amputation, necrosis, and calcification.
