Pelvic ultrasonography demonstrated right hydrosalpinx with absent Doppler flow, while contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 6\u2005cm\u2009\u00d7\u20092.5\u2005cm hydrosalpinx with a possible whirlpool sign, multiple calcified uterine fibroids, and a cervical lesion; the appendix was normal. Based on the clinical and radiologic findings, right fallopian tube torsion was suspected. Owing to the presence of multiple large fibroids and concern for possible sarcomatous change, the patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Intraoperatively, a gangrenous, torsed right fallopian tube and a bulky, fibroid uterus were identified. Histopathological examination confirmed ischemic necrosis of the right fallopian tube consistent with torsion and demonstrated benign leiomyomata with hyalinization and calcification, without evidence of malignancy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>IFTT should be considered in women presenting with acute unilateral lower abdominal pain.
