Comments:
These occur as large (often reaching 20 to 25 cm. diameter) unilocular, thin-walled cysts during pregnancy and may be discovered incidentally at cesarean section. They usually contain clear or mucoid fluid and are lined by one or more layers of large luteinized cells which often display cytologic atypia.
