In contrast, malignant ovarian tumors, such as mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, infrequently present with torsion due to their invasive and angiogenic characteristics. The occurrence of torsion in malignant tumors complicates diagnosis and management, particularly when associated with complications like congestion, infarction, and internal bleeding. This report details a rare case of primary ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma presenting with acute torsion and significant internal bleeding. Our study highlights the diagnostic challenges and the urgent need for clear treatment guidelines, addressing an important gap in the existing literature regarding the management of torsion malignant ovarian tumors. By documenting this case, we aim to contribute to the understanding of this rare condition and provide insights that may help clinicians in similar scenarios.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Patient concerns:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A 51-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with acute abnormal pain.
