Abstract
ABSTRACT Simple cysts of the ovary are quite common, with a prevalence of 5 to 17%. Advances in the technology of ultrasound and the increasing frequency of use of TVS has made it all the more important to have knowledge of the natural history of simple asymptomatic postmenopausal cysts. Previously, due to the paucity of data, postmenopausal women with asymptomatic simple cysts were managed much too aggressively. Current available data suggest a more conservative approach with serial ultrasounds, Doppler evaluation and CA-125 levels. Further studies are needed in order to have definitive guidelines for the gynecologic practitioner. How to cite this article Zalud I, Busse R, Kurjak BF.
