Abstract
This study was designed to determine the gross anatomic criteria needed to diagnose endometrioma. Close observation and histologic examination of chocolate cysts in this patient study revealed that those with a flattened appearance and red or red and brown mottled ridges generally were endometriosis and those with a dark uniform base, an intracavitary clot, or a yellowish rim generally were corpus lutea or albicans.
