Because it usually presents with nonspecific symptoms and occurs rarely, the diagnosis of fallopian tube torsion and necrosis is usually done at laparotomy. A 32 year-old woman returned to the hospital with right lower quadrant pain three days after a postpartum tubal sterilization procedure. Clinical, laboratory and imaging findings did not assist with the diagnosis. At laparotomy, after dissection of adhesions, a necrotic right fallopian tube was found. A salpingectomy was performed and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. Fallopian tube torsion should be included in the differential diagnosis of pelvic pain in women. This patient has a good prognosis.
