For reprints contact: [email protected] A 40‐year‐old woman came with the complaints of abdominal distension and chronic pelvic pain for 6 months. Ultrasonography showed a large cystic mass in the left adnexa. Total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy was performed. On gross examination of the surgical specimen, it was found that the endometrium, myometrium, cervix, and right adnexa were unremarkable. The left adnexa showed two ovaries and a fallopian tube as seen in Figure 1. A large, serous fluid‐filled cyst measuring 12 cm × 9 cm was noted in the left eutopic ovary. On microscopic examination, the endometrium, myometrium, cervix, and right adnexa showed normal histomorphology. Sections studied from accessory ovary showed normal histomorphological features. The cyst in the left eutopic ovary was diagnosed as serous cystadenoma on microscopy. Further inspection and ultrasonography revealed no other genitourinary or pelvic anomaly.
