Synonyms
- Paratubal cyst
Definitions
- Represent remnants of paramesonephric (müllerian) or mesonephric (wolffian) ducts
- Located in broad ligament between ovary and fallopian tube
- When located at fimbriated end of fallopian tube, they are called hydatid cysts, or cysts of Morgagni (smaller in size, averaging < 2 cm)
Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System and Risk Stratification
- Paraovarian cyst is considered to be category 2 based on Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS), a.k.a. O-RADS 2
- Risk stratification: Almost certainly benign category (1% risk of malignancy)
- Paraovarian cyst is considered to be category 2 based on Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS), a.k.a. O-RADS 2
