Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expectant management of asymptomatic small, anechoic, simple ovarian cysts diagnosed by echography in postmenopausal women. To gain insight in the natural history of these cysts.
METHOD: Thirty six postmenopausal women with asymptomatic ovarian cysts (from 1.5 to 5.0 cm) diagnosed by ultrasonography and with a CA 125 serum level within the normal range and a non-suspicious color Doppler were followed conservatively. Visits were scheduled at 8-10 weeks of the diagnosis, at 6-month intervals twice and annually thereafter.
RESULTS: The follow-up period extended from 4 to 70 months with an average of 31.5 months. There were no cases of cyst enlargement. The cysts remained unchanged in 29 cases (80.5%), decreased in size in four cases (11.1%) and disappeared in three cases (8.3%).
CONCLUSION: We think that the possibility of malignant transformation of one of these cysts is remote and the benefits of conservative management greatly outweighs its risks.
