Para-Ovarian Cysts

A paratubal cyst is an encapsulated, fluid-filled sac. They’re sometimes referred to as paraovarian cysts.

This type of cyst forms near an ovary or fallopian tube, and won’t adhere to any internal organ. These cysts often dissolve on their own, or go undiagnosed, so their rate of occurrenceTrusted Source is unknown.

Small, paratubal cysts are most commonly seenTrusted Source in women between the ages of 30 and 40. Enlarged cysts are more commonTrusted Source in girls and younger women.

What are the symptoms?

Paratubal cysts are typically small in size, ranging from two to 20 millimeters in diameter. When they remain that size, they’re usually asymptomatic. Your doctor may discover it during a gynecological exam or unrelated surgical procedure. Large, ruptured, or twisted paratubal cysts can cause pelvic or abdominal pain.

What causes paratubal cysts/paraovarian cyst and who’s at risk?

When fetuses form, they all contain an embryonic structure called the wolffian duct. This area of the embryo is where male sex organs are formed.

If a fetus begins to form female sex organs, the duct shrinks away. Sometimes, vestiges of the duct remain. Paratubal cysts may grow out of these remnants.

The cysts may also form from vestiges of the paramesonephrontic (Müllerian) duct. This is the embryonic structure where female sex organs grow. There aren’t any known risk factors for paratubal cysts.

How are paraovarian cysts diagnosed?

If you’re experiencing pelvic or abdominal pain, see your doctor. They’ll review your symptoms and medical history, then perform a physical exam to check for areas of tenderness.

They may also use one or more of these diagnostic tests:

  • Pelvic ultrasound or abdominal ultrasound. These medical imaging tests use ultrasonic frequency vibrations to transmit visual images of the pelvic region to a computer screen.

  • MRI. This test helps your doctor determine whether a cyst is malignant. It may also be used to follow a cyst’s growth.

  • Blood tests. If malignancy is suspected, your doctor may order blood tests, such as a complete blood count (CBC) and tumor marker test.

  • Laparoscopy. Paratubal cysts can look similar to ovarian cysts on ultrasound, so your doctor may also suggest this surgical test. A diagnostic laparoscopy requires a small incision in the abdomen. Your doctor will insert a tube, which has a tiny video camera attached to its tip, into the incision. This allows your doctor to see your entire pelvic region.
