Abstract
The literature on blood of the ovary presents a fascinating study, particularly the literature of recent years, and especially that relating to the tarry and the chocolate cysts. The greatest debate has been waged concerning the that have an epithelial lining. In 1899, Russell1described an ovarian cyst and said that it arose from an aberrant remnant of Muller's duct. In 1905, Pick2reported a case of adenoma endometrioides ovarii. Since then considerable interest has been taken in these structures. In 1917, Blair Bell3suggested the term endometrioma, and Sampson has since used the term endometriosis. In 1920, Sampson4gave his classic description of the perforating chocolate cysts of the ovary.
