Abstract

Abdominal pain with an associated pelvic mass is a common problem in everyday practice. Concerns about ectopic pregnancy, torsion of an enlarged ovary or malignancy usually dominate the diagnostic evaluation. On physical and imaging examination, when a palpable painful mass is present in the pelvis and the two ovaries and uterus are detected in their normal anatomical locations, the content and origin of the lesions may be significant in narrowing the pre-operative differential diagnosis. Thus, the emergent pelvic indications discussed in this review should be considered. The causes of acute abdominal pain are few in number and therefore an accurate diagnosis may be most frequently made at the time of exploratory laparotomy.
