This encyclopedia entry defines an endometrioma as a benign ovarian cyst containing endometrium-like cells, commonly called a “chocolate cyst.” It notes that endometriomas have the potential to become malignant and are therefore generally removed after diagnosis. The piece is descriptive and does not provide new study methods, results, or an explicit limitation beyond being a reference definition. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it defines and discusses malignancy risk in endometrioma (an ovarian manifestation of endometriosis).
