Clinical Presentation:
o Over 50% are asymptomatic
o Symptomatic cases: between ages of 35-50 y/o
Classic symptoms:
o Secondary dysmenorrhea
o Menorrhagia
Diagnosis:
o Pelvic examination findings
Uterus is diffusely enlarged, globular, usually 2-3x
normal size
o Diagnosis confirmed following histologic examination of
hysterectomy specimen
Submucous myomas may be resected via the cervical canal using the
hysteroscope
Follicular Cyst
Most frequent cystic structures in normal ovaries of young
menstruating women
Translucent, thin-walled filled with watery, clear to straw-
colored fluid
Minimum diameter to be considered a cyst: 2.5-3.0 cm
Dependent on gonadotrophins for growth
May arise from:
o Dominant mature follicle’s failure to rupture (Persistent
follicle)
o Immature follicle’s failure to undergo atresia
Symptoms are varied & non-specific to the ovary
o Most common: Pain
Management Options: Observation
o Majority will disappear spontaneously in 4-8 weeks
(reabsorption of the cyst fluid, silent rupture)
Medical management: OCP (decrease FSH production since this is
the source of stimulation of the follicles)
Surgery:
o For persistent ovarian masses
o Cystectomy is commonly done
o Best if by Laparoscopy
