title: Tubal torsion appearing as acute pelvic inflammatory disease.
abstract: Torsion of the fallopian tube is an uncommon event with variable features, and may occur in the absence of adnexal disease. A woman had signs, symptoms, and ultrasound findings consistent with acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Laparoscopy established the definitive diagnosis of tubal torsion.
