This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

Ovarian transposition during hysterectomy for carcinoma of the cervix is occasionally practised. Transposed ovaries can be variable in position and cause diagnostic difficulty on computed tomography (CT) when operative detail is incomplete (Reed et al, 1989). We report a case of a cystic adenocarcinoma that arose in a transposed ovary and presented as an epigastric mass. We review the literature concerning ovarian conservation with relevance to diagnostic imaging.

Key Words: Ovary • Carcinoma • Transposition
