4.1.3 Peritoneal Inclusion Cysts

Peritoneal inclusion cysts (pseudocysts or multilocular inclusion cysts) are accumulations of fluid produced by the ovaries that become entrapped by peritoneal adhesions. These lesions are of variable size and are typically encountered in premenopausal women with previous surgeries, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) (Moyle et al. 2010). Pseudocysts have an irregular shape because the outer surface is not a true wall but defined by surrounding structures. They may become clinically apparent due to mass effect, chronic pelvic pain, or present without symptoms (Kim et al. 1997).
