Ovarian cyst. An ovarian cyst is a common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs, known as "stone concretions" or "intestinal" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is classified into types such as mucinous cystadenoma, serous cystadenoma, benign teratoma, fibroma, and testicular cell tumor. The specific type can only be determined through a pathological examination after surgery.
