Abstract

The patient,61 years of age, was diagnosed as a right ovarian cyst about 31 years ago.
On laparatomy, it was found that the cyst, overman's head in size, was not connected with the uterine body and the pelvic wall but with the omentum and the urinary bladder.
Such a parasitic ovarian cyst is due to autoamputation after torsion of the pedicle of cyst.
