ABSTRACT
This article presents a case of spontaneous autoamputation of ovary in a 46-year-old nulligravid woman with a history of rheumatoid arthritis and hypertension, who presented with secondary amenorrhea and white vaginal discharge. Despite an initial diagnosis of dermoid cyst based on ultrasound findings, subsequent laparoscopic surgery revealed a necrotized oval-shaped mass in the cul-de-sac, which was identified as the right ovary that had undergone torsion and autoamputation. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with this uncommon presentation, which may be easily misdiagnosed. Clinicians should consider spontaneous autoamputation of ovary as a potential differential diagnosis in women presenting with adnexal masses, even if there is no prior history of abdominal pain.
