  1. 1.

    Solitary follicle cysts and corpus luteum cysts

  2. 2.

    Solitary luteinized follicle cysts of pregnancy and puerperium*

  3. 3.

    Multiple luteinized follicle cysts and/or corpora lutea

  4. 4.

    Pregnancy luteoma

  5. 5.

    Stromal hyperplasia and hyperthecosis

  6. 6.

    Polycystic ovaries

  7. 7.

    Surface-epithelial inclusions and cysts

  8. 8.

    Unusual mesothelial inclusions*

  9. 9.

    Surface papillary structures*

  10. 10.

    Endometriosis

  11. 11.

    Massive edema

  12. 12.

    Simple cysts

  13. 13.

    Inflammatory lesions

  14. 14.

    Hilus cell hyperplasia*

  15. 15.

    Splenic-gonadal fusion*

  16. 16.

    Ovarian pregnancy*

  17. 17.

    Torsion of the normal ovary and tube*

  18. 18.

    Parovarian inclusions and cysts

  19. 19.

    Hyperplasia of tubal epithelium*

  20. 20.

    Two further types of epithelial inclusions*

  21. a)
