title: Massive ovarian oedema: a nonneoplastic adnexal mass mistaken for a neoplasm.
abstract: Massive ovarian oedema (MOO) is an unusual clinical entity occurring in teenage girls and young women, and is thought to result from periodic and intermittent torsion of the ovarian pedicle. It is usually mistaken for an ovarian neoplasm and treated by oophorectomy. A case that underwent more radical surgery than is necessary is presented.
