Sumario:Autoamputation is one of the complications of ovarian torsion. In many cases, ovarian torsion develops as a result of mature cystic teratoma. Herein, we present a woman aged 27 years whose right ovary was autoamputated and reimplanted in the omentum. It should be noted that autoamputated ovaries can reimplant in surrounding tissues by revascularization and present as mobile abdominal masses with atypical localization.
