Abstract
A variety of conditions can occur within the pelvis and the peritoneal cavity and involve omental tissue. This chapter mainly focuses on gynecologic conditions that arise in the pelvis, primarily benign and malignant ovarian or fallopian tube diseases that may then secondarily involve the peritoneal space and/or omental tissue. Benign conditions that fall under this category include endometriosis and endosalpingiosis, benign entities arising from deposits of displaced endometrial tissue, and tubal epithelium. Ovarian cysts include a spectrum of benign, unilocular simple cysts to more complex, radiologically indeterminate or pathologically borderline cysts (including serous, mucinous, and seromucinous types) to frankly malignant carcinomas
