Sonographic findings of prenatal torsion of ovarian lymphangioma.
Ovarian cysts are primarily of follicular origin, and ovarian lymphangioma is an extremely rare lesion. Most ovarian cysts demonstrated on prenatal sonograms are asymptomatic and resolve antenatally. We report a case of ovarian torsion in utero secondary to an ovarian lymphangioma in which sonographic examination revealed a changing pattern of the cystic ovarian mass from an anechoic to echogenic appearance.
