[Clinical management of cystic ovarian tumors]

In a prospective study at the University of Göttingen 206 cystic ovarian tumours were examined vaginosonographically. Basing on a graduated schedule, the individual therapy of each ovarian tumour was determined. By use of this clinical management, all blastomas could be detected correctly and in 6.8% of all cases a follicle or corpus luteum cyst was operated per laparotomiam. Basing on the created data, the authors suggest a simple and effective clinical management of cystic ovarian tumours.
