Summary
This chapter will explore the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, investigation, diagnosis and onward management of both benign and borderline ovarian cysts. The category of benign cysts includes simple, haemorrhagic, dermoid and endometrial and will also include ovarian cysts in pregnancy. Additional note is given to emergency presentations of ovarian cysts/masses, including ovarian torsion and cyst rupture.
The topic of borderline cysts will be addressed, including definition, subtypes, presentation, investigations, diagnosis, management and outcome. The most common subtypes discussed are serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell and transitional cell borderline ovarian cysts.
