AB Ovarian  masses  are  a  frequent  finding  in  general  gynecology,  and  most  are  cystic  (Fig.  10-1).  Histologically,  ovarian  cysts  are  often  divided  into  those  derived  from  neoplastic  growth,  ovarian  cystic  neoplasms,  and  those  created  by  disruption  of  normal  ovulation,  functional  ovarian  cysts.  Differentiation  of  these  is  not  always  clinically  apparent  using  either  imaging  or  tumor  markers.  Thus,  ovarian  cysts  are  often  managed  as  a  single  composite  clinical  entity,  and  the  next  sections  describe  this  general  approach.  Later  sections  discuss  discrete  pathologies.
