ABSTRACT
For decades, ultrasound examination, both pre-and post-
natal, has made it possible for clinicians to recognize ovarian
cysts and other masses. True neoplasms are rare, simple
ovarian cysts are common, and large or complex cysts often
demand surgical attention. A variety of approaches including
aspiration (both pre-and postnatal), surgical removal, or
observation have been proposed and are acceptable depend-
ing on the radiographic and clinical circumstances.
