Compare and contrast endometrial versus dermoid cysts
What will be an ideal response?
Endometrial cysts are endometrial deposits in the ovary that form cysts filled with blood and debris in which the walls are lined by endometrium.
Dermoid cysts are otherwise known as benign cystic teratomas; they develop in the ovary and arise from an unfertilized ovum that has undergone neoplastic change. The cysts contain hair, skin, teeth, bone, and parts of the gastrointestinal tract, thyroid and other tissues. These cysts represent an attempt of the unfertilized ova to differentiate into various types of tissues.
