Simultaneous bilateral adnexal entanglement is a rare condition with only a few cases documented in the literature. It represents an exceptional cause of symptomatic pelvic masses, posing unique diagnostic and management challenges. A 56-year-old postmenopausal woman presented to the emergency department with progressive abdominal pain. Imaging revealed bilateral adnexal masses, initially interpreted as secondary lesions to prior abdominal surgeries. Surgical exploration uncovered bilateral adnexal entanglement without evidence of ischemia. Histopathology examination confirmed mature cystic teratomas. This case highlights the complexity of diagnosing adnexal masses in postmenopausal women, especially when imaging findings overlap with benign post-surgical changes. A thorough multidisciplinary approach is essential to avoid delays and ensure accurate diagnosis.
双侧附件同时发生粘连是一种罕见病症,文献中仅有少数病例记载。它是有症状盆腔肿块的一个特殊病因,带来了独特的诊断和管理挑战。一名56岁绝经后女性因进行性腹痛就诊于急诊科。影像学检查发现双侧附件肿块,最初被解释为既往腹部手术的继发性病变。手术探查发现双侧附件粘连,无缺血迹象。组织病理学检查证实为成熟囊性畸胎瘤。该病例凸显了绝经后女性附件肿块诊断的复杂性,尤其是当影像学表现与良性术后改变重叠时。采取全面的多学科方法对于避免延误和确保准确诊断至关重要。
