Abstract :

Torsion of the ovary is an emergency gynaecological condition. Early diagnosis prevents complications and preserves the ovarian and tubal function. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the clinical and histological findings of ovarian torsion. The study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, VSSIMSAR, Burla from January 2016 to December 2019. Ovarian torsion occurred most commonly in the reproductive age group (21 – 30 years). Right ovary was most commonly involved. Symptoms included sudden abdominal or pelvic pain (86.11%), also associated with fever (8.33%) and vomiting (5.55%). Histopathology revealed haemorrhagic necrosis in 52.77% cases. Among ovarian tumors, benign serous cystadenoma (22.22%) was the most common tumor. Two cases of malignancy were recorded. Awareness regarding clinical and histopathological findings helps in the management of this acute emergency condition
