Figure 1
Greyscale ultrasound image of the pelvis showing an irregular, lobulated, unilocular cystic lesion measuring 184x104 mm, arising from the left adnexa extending into the lower abdomen. Note the presence of thin walls with echogenic mobile contents. An incomplete thin septation showing minimal vascularity (CS-2) was also present

Figure 2
CECT images show a large (220x180x120 mm) lobulated cystic lesion with a thin septation in the left adnexa extending into the abdomen. The wall of the lesion showed focal areas of thickening with enhancement. Enhancement of the septation was present. Two enhancing papillary projections (13x10 mm) were noted in the posterior wall of the lesion CECT: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography
