Abstract
- Paratubal cysts come from paraovarium of the broad ligament between the fallopian tube and ovary. Overall, these cysts constitute 10% of all adnexal masses and are commonly incidental findings upon surgical exploration for other reasons. They more commonly occur in women between 30 and 40 years of age. We report two cases of rapidly growing, huge paratubal cysts in young women, which are presented with brief review of literature.
