Ovarian remnant syndrome: a case report and review of the literature.
The ovarian remnant syndrome in an unusual complication of bilateral oophorectomy, usually presenting with pelvic mass and pain. A case of the syndrome is described in a 35-year-old woman with a history of abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. We suggest that ovarian remnant syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain after recorded oophorectomy.
