It is usually seen in patients with ectopic pregnancy. Inflammatory disease of the pelvis, tubal cancer, pelvic trauma, and endometriosis are further causes. Here, we report a unique case of hematosalpinx with associated tubal torsion in a 13-year-old female lacking any previously reported contributing causes. She is celibate and presented with abdominal pain and fever. Beta-hcg was not present, and her menstrual cycle was regular. Pelvic ultrasound sonography revealed a large cyst and was suggestive of a right paraovarian cyst. An exploratory laparotomy was performed and a giant hematosalpinx was observed in an otherwise normal ovary. In conclusion, although very rare in adolescence, hematosalpinx must be considered in the differential diagnosis. This unusual instance highlights new concerns regarding the pathogenesis of hematosalpinx.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae549","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,9]],"date-time":"2024-09-09T22:04:24Z","timestamp":1725919464000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A
