Ovarian cysts are commonly found on imaging done for other reasons. Proper triage will decrease unnecessary procedures and worry while obtaining the best survival benefit for those ultimately found to have cancer. Most cysts are benign, but a few are malignant, with a notoriously poor survival rate. How can we tell if a patient truly needs surgery?
