Introduction: Pelvic masses that seem to be ovarian masses on imaging are many times, actually broids, which can be subserosal, or true/ false broad ligament broids. Many cases of broids mimicking ovarian masses/ malignancy have been reported, but rarely any case can be found where an ovarian mass, especially a hemorrhagic cyst mimicked a broid.
