*papillary projections into a cystic structure
Mucinous Cystadenoma
Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma
*Large size and septations are characteristic; septal nodularity is marked.
Serous Cystadenocarcinoma
*Extensive nodularity in both images shows vascularity confirming the morphologic suspicion of a malignant mass
Dermoids
*Echogenic nodule in the image on the left
*“tip of the iceberg” sign in the image on the right
Dermoid
*Predominantly echogenic mass with a fat-fluid level
Dermoid
*Mass of varying echogenicity with hair-fluid level and highly echogenic fat-containing dermoid plug
Dermoid
*Dermoid plug and dermoid mesh
Granulosa
Fibroma
Functional cysts have a function. What are the 4 functional cysts?
Theca Lutein = high levels of hCG; gest. trophoblastic disease
Follicular Cyst = ovulation
Corpus Luteum cyst = when corpus luteum fails to involute
Hemorrhagic Cyst = could be b/c of follicular or corpus luteum rupture
