Whether encountered incidentally, or in symptomatic patients, adnexal masses are common enough that their characteristic findings on ultrasound, CT, and MRI are familiar to most radiologists. Although the fate of many of these masses is often stability or resolution, natural history occasionally diverts from what is familiar, and complications ensue. While some of these complications are rare, radiologists should be aware of their imaging characteristics in order to direct appropriate treatment. We aim to present commonly encountered adnexal masses that have a complicating feature.

I. Complications of common adnexal masses a. Ectopic pregnancy: rupture b. Ovarian torsion c. Corpus luteum: rupture d. Endometrioma: rupture, malignant degeneration, decidualization e. Dermoid: rupture, fistula, malignant degeneration, anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis f. Pedunculated Fibroid: torsion g. Tuboovarian Abscess: Fitz Hugh Curtis (Perihepatitis) II. Practical points for diagnosis and decision making a. Discussion of modality choice b. Integrating clinical information into your imaging diagnosis
