title: Huge endometriosis presenting like an ovarian tumor: CT appearance.
abstract: A 32-year-old female with a clinical history of abdominal swelling underwent CT of the abdomen. A huge biloculated cystic mass with a mural nodule in the abdominal and pelvic region was seen. The lesion showed slightly homogeneous enhancement. The imaging findings suggested an ovarian tumor. Histopathological evaluation after surgical resection revealed that the lesion was a bilateral ovarian endometriosis.
