Complete adnexal torsion of a large dermoid ovarian cyst with ovarian and tubal preservation in a 17-year-old patient: a case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dermoid cyst or mature cystic teratoma is the most common ovarian germ cell tumor. Clinical diagnosis is not easy. The acute abdominal pain associated with ovarian dermoid cysts usually involves adnexal torsion. Preoperative diagnosis of adnexal torsion with dermoid ovarian cyst can be based on pelvic imaging combined with clinical findings. Treatment is surgical and should be applied without delay. Cystectomy is the treatment of choice for the management of dermoid ovarian cysts that have undergone torsion and maintain adequate blood supply. Our case report concerns the emergency surgical intervention of a patient with right adnexal torsion and the presence of a large dermoid cyst. The patient came to the Emergency Department of our hospital with symptoms of an acute abdomen. Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of adnexal torsion with the presence of a mature cystic ovarian teratoma, and laparotomy with cystectomy was performed. Histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of twisted ovarian dermoid cyst. At this point, we must emphasize the crucial contribution of transabdominal pelvic ultrasound in the management of mature cystic ovarian teratomas accompanied by complete adnexal torsion. Early diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention in young patients who wish to preserve ovarian function in order to achieve future pregnancy are of major importance.
