Can a small, solid, ovarian tumor still rupture or twist? i'm experiencing pelvic pain and am wondering if this is the cause.

Unlikely: It has to be over 5 cm in size before leakage becomes a consideration. You can get yourself rechecked by your gynecologist who can verify it with an ultrasound or mri/ct scan.
