Figure 2 Axial contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic computed tomography images showing presence of enlarged uterus (red arrow) (A) consistent with early postpartum period and a normal appendix (red arrow) (B). Also note the non-enhancing ovarian mass (white arrow).

Figure 3 Axial contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic computed tomography image revealing intralesional fat (white arrow) and calcification (red arrow). Note the non-enhancing component of the lesion (arrowhead).

High power microscopic view (B) showing in the surface lined by stratified squamous epithelium with associated hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Microscopic (C); hair shaft material. Extensive hemorrhage, congestion, dilated blood vessels, and ischemia of mucosa and parenchyma (D).
