[Correlation between receptive wall analysis of benign ovarial cysts and their clinical conduct]

The biological behaviour (conduct) of benign ovarial cysts is interesting due to their comparatively high frequency of appearance and clinical manifestation. (During the last five years their frequency is between 62%-65% of the gynaecological surgical interventions). With this current survey the authors try to set up a target for research study of the wall receptive status of benign ovarial cysts. This study should be treated as a start up point rendering a prognosis for their eventual biological development.

An immunohistochemical survey was carried on with 50 patients who have already reached the surgical treatment in retrospective order for the period 2001-2003 (three years' period). The survey search is in direction receptive analysis of Estrogene /E2/ and Progesterone /P/ wall receptor in the ovarial cyst. A perspective observation was also carried on (control group of 50 cases) of hormonal-gestagene treatment of the benign ovarial cystogenesis. It appears to be the necessary prove material for hormonal receptors' participation in the cyst wall as an active factor for its development and involution.

In the basic group /surgical treatment/ it was stated: In 39 patients--E2/-/, P/-/; in 4 patients--E2/+/, P/+/ In 5 patients--E2/+/, P/-/; in 2 patients--E2/-/, P/+/

The executed retrospective analysis demonstrates statistical importance in receptor competency lack in the wall of benign ovarial cysts as the probable grounds for them not being influenced during the conservative treatment method. This method led to the surgical elimination of the cyst. The statistical reliability, connected with the receptor E2 participation in the therapeutic behaviour of the benign ovarial cysts, is not stated. The final conclusions acquired from the executed research work would be a discussion issue after the correlative aspects in the prospective group are surveyed. The benign ovarial cysts' hormonal profile would be taken into consideration also.
