Spontaneously acquired, unilateral absence of the adnexa. A case report.
A free-floating, calcified cyst was found in the peritoneal cavity in association with unilateral absence of the adnexa. The evidence was that it was due to torsion and separation of the adnexa from their supporting structures. This phenomenon may be a cause of congenital absence of the ovary.
