Acquired "wandering ovary" following hysterectomy
Updates to Case Attributes
The case is most suggestive of an acquired ectopic ovary. The ovary is noted to be on a long vascular pedicle and is therefore potentially at increased risk for ovarian torsion.
Three months prior to this presentation, the patient underwent a hysterectomy. Normal ovaries were identified intraoperatively. This case may represent a right ovary that became mobile following hysterectomy, suggestive of an iatrogenic "wandering ovary".

There is an oval soft tissue mass containing multiple cysts in the right upper quadrant. The cysts are T1-weighted hypointense and T2-weighted hyperintense. On Axialשxial series, one of the cyst appears partially collapsed and its walls are hyperenhancing.
On Coronalבoronal series, the uterus is surgically absent and a left ovary is present.
