Dr. Neeta Meena
Abstract: Ovarian fibroma with torsion is a rare but serious condition, especially in young females. Ovarian fibromas are benign, slow - growing tumors composed mainly of fibrous tissue.

This case report presents a case of a 31 - year - old who presented with features suggestive of ovarian torsion. Diagnostic. Difficulty was faced due to the complex appearance of the mass and presenting age of the patient. However, the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology reported a large 14cm multiloculated cystic lesion likely ovarian fibroma This can lead to acute abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, often mimicking other gynecological or gastrointestinal emergencies. Diagnosis is typically made via imaging such as ultrasound or MRI, but definitive diagnosis requires surgical exploration.
