WANDERING CALCIFIED OVARY IN CHILDREN

A case of a mobile, calcified, intrapelvic mass representing an autoam putated ovary in an asymptomatic girl is presented. There was no previ ous history of acute abdominal pain indicating possible torsion of the adnexa. The diagnosis should be suspected when radiological investiga tions show a freely mobile, calcified intraperitoneal mass incidentall y in young females with absent adnexa. The diagnostic and therapeutic role of laparoscopy in this case is emphasised.
