A member asked:

1 cm paraovarian cyst incidentally found on u/s. is this a simple cyst? all it said was '1 x1cm paraovarian cyst'. f/u not needed, apparently.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Parovarian Cyst: A parovarian cyst is a tiny fluid-filled sac found in 3-4% of women incidentally for other reasons. Depending on whether the cyst is attached to the top of the fallopian tube (the fimbria) or nearby, the cyst may be called a "hydatid cyst of morgagni [see image attached]*" or, simply, a "paratubal cyst." *source: http://www.Sciencedirect.Com /science/article/pii/s1055858605000156.
