J Clin Ultrasound. 2007 May;35(4):226-8. doi: 10.1002/jcu.20282.

Abstract

We report a case of a 37-year-old 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.
