(a) An axial CT angiogram of the pelvis performed 3 months after delivery. (1) indicates a pelvic mass. (2) demonstrates a bulky cervix with a surrounding ill-defined outline where an underlying cervical malignancy could not be ruled out at this point. (b) T2 sagittal MRI scan taken 4 months after delivery. (1) highlights pelvic endometriosis with a left endometrioma sitting over the uterine fundus. (2) demonstrates tethering of the plaque to the ventral rectosigmoid junction indicating the severity of the endometriosis.

This well-defined, large lesion was suspected to be a complex or complicated ovarian cyst rather than a haematoma (Figure 1(a)). MRI scan was subsequently conducted 4 months after discharge to further characterize this mass. MRI scans revealed possible pelvic endometriosis with a large left endometrioma measuring 9  x 7  x 7 cm (Figure 1(b)).
