Thirty simple adnexal cysts in postmenopausal women detected by sonography were followed prospectively. The cysts were totally anechoic or with at most two septations. Size varied from 2 cm to 8 cm, but one was as large as 17 cm. Only seven were discovered at the pelvic examination prior to the scan
To determine the natural history of small, simple ovarian cysts in postmenopausal women, 51 postmenopausal patients with small (<5 cm), smooth, aseptate, hypoechogenic ovarian cysts, without ascites, were followed by vaginal ultrasound examinations every 3 months for an average period of 2.5 years.
