  • Title: [The so-called "chocolate cyst"--frequently misinterpreted as ovarian endometriosis?].
    Author: Christensen B, Schindler AE.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1996 Sep; 56(9):482-4. PubMed ID: 8991846.
    Abstract:
    Limitation of morphological diagnostic and possible misinterpretations are shown in a patient with anamnestic ovarian endometriosis. In cases of "chocolate cysts" it is necessary to differentiate between ovarian endometriosis and functional cysts. Hints for the existence of a functional cyst are an atypical past history or perioperative findings. Biochemical analysis of the cyst fluid may lead to a correct diagnosis.
