10 Causes of Ovarian Cysts
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Cause #6: Cystadenomas
Cystadenoma is a type of cystic adenoma that is known as a cystadenocarcinoma, if it is malignant. It develops on the surface of an ovary and might be filled with a watery or a mucous material. Cystadenomas can be divided into serous, papillary, and mucinous cystadenoma.
The cyst can be multilocular with surfaces that are smooth on both the outer and inner surfaces. It can be huge in size. While rare in the extremities of age, it is more commonly seen among women between their 30s and 50s. Huge ovarian cysts can become complicated if torsion, rupture, or hemorrhage occurs.
