Cystic teratoma in the greater omentum remains one of gynecology's rarest entities. A 28‐year‐old woman presented with a goose‐egg‐sized mass in the right lower quadrant. At laparotomy, the mass proved to be a cystic teratoma of the greater omentum. To our knowledge, this report documents the first case where an omental pedicle was torsioned.
