While torsion of adnexa is still common, we report a rare case of isolated torsion of fallopian tube in full term pregnancy which has an incidence of 1 in 1.5 million women. The condition is frequently misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis or ovarian torsion. The right fallopian tube is most commonly involved. In our case the specific diagnosis was made after surgery and she was managed by simultaneous salpingectomy with cesarean section.
