00:01 In this section of female reproductive pathology, we’ll take a look at the ovaries in greater detail. 00:09 We’ll begin by looking at benign cyst. 00:11 And as we progress further, then we’ll take a look at what may then happen when the ovaries develop malignancy. 00:20 With benign cyst, a follicular cyst, multiple. 00:25 Variable size. 00:26 Lined by granulosa and theca cells. 00:28 I want to stop here for one second. 00:31 Where are you? You’re in the ovary. 00:34 Inside the ovary of a follicle. 00:36 And there’s every possibility that these follicles may then develop fluid accumulation. 00:41 Isn’t that the definition of a cyst? And as far as a female is concerned, she has hundreds of thousands of these follicles that she’s given. 00:50 And each month of course, one of these follicles is then going to rupture the egg and then out comes the product. 00:57 There’s a follicular cyst, therefore if it’s a follicle, the two layers anatomically will be the outer layer and that is then called your granulosa. 01:06 The inner layer of the follicle is called your theca if you remember from physio. 01:11 If you’re thinking about a chocolate cyst, that was a topic that we had looked at known as endometriosis. 01:17 And so therefore, there might be ectopic implantation of the endometrium on top of your ovary. 01:24 And every month when there’s bleeding, there is a chocolate cyst-like appearance and I’ve shown you a picture in endometriosis.
The lecture Benign Cysts by Carlo Raj, MD is from the course Ovarian Diseases.
