Positive and negative CT studies were equally likely to affect management.

Considering the likelihood of both clinical and radiologic misdiagnosis, the radiologist should consider and pursue the diagnosis of a ruptured hemorrhagic ovarian cyst in a woman of child-bearing age who presents with pelvic pain and a large amount of complicated intraperitoneal fluid.
