Abstract
Pelvic masses requiring surgical evaluation have many different causes. In an unusual case, a pelvic mass was found to comprise approximately 40 gallstones. Laparoscopy was performed, and the gallstones were removed easily. Nongynecologic causes should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses.
