Paraovarian cyst is a cyst that is not a part of the ovary. It might be mistaken with ovarian cyst. But this cyst usually does not show menstrual cycle related symptoms as the ovarian cyst does. They are remnants of the Wolfiaan duct. They are not a side effect of taking cytotec or caused by the abortion. They might grow large and put some pressure on the surrounding tissue. Surgical removal is final and complete solution. Meantime analgesics are the usual treatment.
Possible complications if the cyst is not surgically treated include: rupture, bleeding and possible infection.
