This ultrasound study found a tendency toward a higher frequency of ovarian cysts in women with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis compared to controls, though the difference was not statistically significant.

Abstract

The frequency of ovarian cysts in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) is believed to be higher than in the normal population, but this aspect has not been studied hitherto. The prevalence of ovarian cysts in the normal population is unknown. By ultrasonic scanning, we studied the frequency of ovarian cysts in 61 patients with CD, 64 with UC, and in 100 controls. The findings were positive in 3 out of 61 with CD, 5 of 64 with UC, and in 2 of 100 controls. There is a tendency to a higher frequency of ovarian cysts in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases than in the normal population, but no statistically significant difference.
