dc.description.abstractAim: Adnexal torsion is one of the rare causes of lower abdominal pain, however, it is a common gynecological surgical emergency. Its prevalence is 2.7%. The incidence of torsion may be lower in post-menopausal women because of decreased risk of benign ovarian cysts and benign teratomas. Adnexal masses in post-menopausal patients are more likely to be malignant. However, there is not enough study to know precisely the risk of malignancy in post-menopausal patients with adnexal torsion. Material and Methods: This study was carried out in a tertiary center in Turkey. The study retrospectively analyzed 380 patients presented to our clinic with abdominal pain between January 2005 and January 2020 and underwent surgery for adnexal torsion. Results: The data were collected from patients records at a tertiary center in Turkey over a 15-year period. Three hundred eighty patients underwent surgery for adnexal torsion; 288 patients were premenopausal and 92 patients were postmenopausal. Fourteen ovarian malignancies and 11 borderline serous and mucinous tumors were reported; 11 (11.9%) ovarian malignancies were reported in post-menopausal patients and 3 (1.1%) d in premenopausal patients. There were 6 serous cystadenocarcinoma, 4 mucinous cystadenocarcinoma, and 4 granulosa cell tumors that had been reported as malignancy histopathologic subtype. Discussion: There is a longer delay in postmenopausal adnexal patients' treatment since postmenopausal adnexal torsion is an uncommon and unexpected gynecological emergency. Malignancy prevalence is high in the postmenopausal group, and surgeons should suspect malignancy in post-menopausal adnexal torsion patients.en_US
