Etiology
A simple ovarian cyst is a clear, thin-walled, unilocular cyst.
Premenopausal
Simple cysts up to 3 cm in maximal diameter are considered normal physiologic follicles in cycling women, and thus should not be reported as a cyst, particularly when the patient is midcycle. If a clear simple cyst does not resolve, it may be extraovarian, specifically paraovarian or paratubal. A persistent thin-walled and unilocular cyst may also represent a serous cystadenoma.
