Abstract: Uterine leiomyomata are the most common neoplasms of the uterus. Although the majority of them are benign and asymptomatic, they can be associated with serious and life-threatening complications such as torsion, infarction and necrosis. The purpose of this report is to highlight a case of torsion of large pedunculated subserosal uterine myoma in a young woman and to emphasize the role of the imaging modalities (ultrasonography and computed tomography), in the investigation of female patients with acute abdominal and pelvic pain in the emergency department.
