Parovarian cyst

A parovarian cyst lies in the broad ligament near the tube or ovary. The name does not imply histogenesis; it only means a cystic mass between the two broad-ligament leaves around the tube/ovary. It is a benign non-neoplastic cyst, though a few cases of adenocarcinoma have been reported. It can occur at any age, most common in parous women. It is a tumor-like lesion, not an ovarian cyst.
