Introduction
Torsion of the normal fallopian tube with or without the ovary is not very rare1. The lesion of the tube preceding torsion is mostly a hydrosalpinx. The interference in blood- supply converts this to a haematosalpinx1. Primary tumours of the oviduct are seldom diagnosed before operation2. With early diagnosis and treatment it might be possible to conserve normal structures by untwisting the pedicle and resecting the tumours3.
