چکیده    Parasitic fibroids are generally diagnosed incidentally at the time of surgery performed for symptomatic uterine fibroids. torsion of a parasitic fibroid causing severe acute onset pain is extremely rare. we report a torsed parasitic fibroid in a patient who underwent hysterectomy using power morcellation for specimen retrieval. a 40-year-old patient with a history of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy 8 years prior presented with severe abdominal pain. she was diagnosed with degenerating parasitic fibroids on magnetic resonance imaging and was managed conservatively. surgery was performed 3 days later for persistent pain,and the parasitic fibroid was found to have undergone torsion. torsed ischemic fibroids can undergo necrosis and gangrene and can potentially cause life-threatening coagulopathy and peritonitis. awareness of this potential complication will reduce errors in diagnosis and facilitate timely management. © 2015 by the turkish-german gynecological education and research foundation.
