Abstract
We report a case of a 37βyearβold female with a mesothelial cyst of the round ligament presenting as a palpable mass. The mass appeared sonographically as a fusiform structure with several cystic anechoic areas and was misdiagnosed preoperatively as herniation of the right ovary. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
