Abstract
A free-floating, calcified cyst was found in the peritoneal cavity in association with unilateral absence of the adnexa. The evidence was th at it was due to torsion and separation of the adnexa from their suppo rting structures. This phenomenon may be a cause of congenital absence of the ovary.
