摘要：

We report a 9-month-old infant with a torted ovarian cyst who presented with an acute consumptive coagulopathy (CC) with lethal outcome. That ischemic tissue can act as a trigger for a CC is well-known, but we did not find any report of a torted ovarian cyst causing a coagulopathy in the pediatric literature. This potential complication constitutes one more reason for the prompt surgical removal of torted ovarian cysts in infants.
