Abstract

We report a case of a young woman presenting with abdominal pain due to a rare and recurrent herniation of the ovary, to a retroperitoneal location lateral to the external iliac artery and directly dorsal to the iliopsoas muscle. Correlation between computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and laparoscopy is presented. The patient's complaints subsided after right oophoropexy. When aware, this diagnosis is easy to make and may allow symptomatic patients to be treated with laparoscopic oophoropexy.
