Abstract
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, which induces a chronic inflammatory reaction and formation of scar tissue and adhesions, resulting in the deformation of the female pelvis anatomy. Twenty-five to fifty percent of women with infertility suffer from endometriosis, while 30-50% of infertile women are diagnosed with the disease. Endometrioma is a benign cyst of the ovary that contains ectopic endometrial tissue and is a common cause of endometriosis. There are some gray areas regarding clinical decisions and endometriotic cysts. The chapter aims to present current evidence regarding optimal management of endometriotic cysts.
