The reason: Many radiologists use the term “complex” to describe all cysts other than totally clear, simple cysts (FIGURE 1). However, many benign entities are complex, such as dermoid cysts, endometriomas, hemorrhagic cysts (FIGURE 2), and cystadenomas.

Ovary cyst, follicular: A fluid-filled sac in the ovary, the most common type of ovarian cyst. It results from the growth of a follicle. A follicle is the fluid-filled cyst that contains an egg. In some cycles, this follicle grows larger than normal and does not rupture to release the egg.

Ovarian cysts are common and, in the vast majority of cases, they are benign (noncancerous). They vary in size and may occur at different sites in the ovary; the most common type develops when an egg-producing follicle does not rupture and release the egg but instead swells with fluid and forms a follicular cyst.

Cysts that form in or around your ovaries often go unnoticed. They may cause only mild symptoms or no noticeable symptoms at all. It's relatively rare, but some ovarian cysts are malignant, or cancerous. Fortunately, most are benign, or not cancerous.

Ovarian cysts do not usually cause infertility However, one condition which can prevent fertility is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), in which there are several small cysts on the ovaries.

Conditions that cause ovarian cysts Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that causes lots of small, harmless cysts to develop on your ovaries. The cysts are small egg follicles that do not grow to ovulation and are caused by altered hormone levels.

12) are usually simple, unilocular adnexal cysts outside of the ovary that are often found incidentally. A paraovarian cyst located adjacent to the ovary can raise concern for ectopic pregnancy, but its appearance as a simple cyst with a thin, avascular wall readily distinguishes it from an ectopic pregnancy.

Ovarian cysts can also lead to problems with the menstrual cycle, such as heavy or irregular periods, or spotting (abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods). Menstrual cycle problems occur if the cyst produces sex hormones that cause the lining of the womb to grow more.

Most epithelial ovarian tumors are benign (noncancerous). There are several types of benign epithelial tumors, including serous adenomas, mucinous adenomas, and Brenner tumors. Cancerous epithelial tumors are carcinomas - meaning they begin in the tissue that lines the ovaries.

Ovarian cysts are common during early pregnancy, even though you're no longer menstruating. Usually, these cysts are harmless just like most other ovarian cysts. However, there are a few possible problems if the cysts continue to grow throughout your pregnancy.
