Zusammenfassung:Collision tumour is the coexistence of two adjacent, but histologically distinct tumours without histologic admixture. Collision tumours are rare in the ovary. It is mostly a histopathological diagnosis often missed in preoperative imaging.

We describe the finding of a rare collision tumour, mature cystic teratoma and ovarian fibroma complicated by torsion.
