PHYSIOLOGIC ENLARGEMENT

FUNCTIONAL CYSTS

A   22-year-old woman   comes   for an  annual  examination and requests    oral

contraceptive   pills.  On  pelvic  examination a   6   cm  mobile, smooth, soft,   left

adnexal mass    is  palpable.   Endovaginal pelvic  ultrasound  shows   a   6   cm,

round,  fluid-filled,   simple  ovarian cyst    without septations  or  calcifications.

She has no  other   significant personal    or  family  history.
