摘要：

Torsion of ovarian tumors is often difficult to diagnose, because of non-specific clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings. We report a case of twisted ovarian fibroma whose main characteristic was the presence of large areas of high signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted MR images due to the passive congestion of the mass. This previously unreported finding should be considered a sign of ovarian torsion and may facilitate prompt surgical intervention.
