Abstract

Ovarian cysts are the fourth most common gynaecological cause for admission to hospital in England and Wales, with 14000 discharges annually. Little is known about their aetiology or distribution in the population. This report summarises the age distribution of women admitted to hospital with ovarian cysts and describes trends in hospital discharge rates in England and Wales from 1962 to 1979.
