message: The discussion of dermoid cyst here needs rewriting.  A dermoid cyst more often occurs outside the ovary, and histologically it is a kind of teratoma.  That is medically important.  This page needs to be revised to indicate that the ovary can have a teratoma, and that the teratoma can be a dermoid cyst or a struma ovarii, or a fetus in fetu (I know a woman who had one of these removed at age 6!), or another form of teratoma.  And that the teratoma can be benign or malignant.  Una Smith 18:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reference for study? 

message: Some of the references don't point to current pages
*6 www.gpnotebook.co.uk/cache/1040580634.htm
*17  www.lakeside.ca/Patient_Info/ovarian_cysts.htm for example
*23 www.4woman.gov/faq/ovarian_cysts.htm
Some seem commercial,
*5 www.cyst101.com/cause.htm
This one 8 www.usc.edu/hsc/dental/opath/Chapters/DictionaryF.html seems to require a UCS login
Other Medical articles have references to some of the standard Medical texts (ie Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine) or relevant review articles.
*  may be an appropriate ref for Endometrioid cyst - if confirmed by someone with Medical nouse.
*  for Functional cysts - if confirmed by someone with Medical nouse.

thread_title: Split

message: The article currently states that '1% of ovarian cysts are benign.'  This is exactly opposite of the fact.  I believe it needs to say '1% of ovarian cysts are 'malignant.' 
Please change this fact ASAP -- These false statistic could greatly concern anyone who is researching this topic.

Why are immature follicles not true cysts?
