Relative incidences of different types of ovarian cysts. Functional Functional cysts form as a normal part of the menstrual cycle. There are several types of functional cysts: * Follicular cyst, the most common type of ovarian cyst. In menstruating women, a follicle containing the ovum, an unfertilized egg, will rupture during ovulation. If this does not occur, a follicular cyst of more than 2.5 cm diameter may result. * Corpus luteum cysts appear after ovulation. The corpus luteum is the remnant of the follicle after the ovum has moved to the fallopian tubes. This normally degrades within 5 to 9 days. A corpus luteum that is more than 3 cm is defined as cystic. * Theca lutein cysts occur within the thecal layer of cells surrounding developing oocytes. Under the influence of excessive hCG, thecal cells may proliferate and become cystic. This is usually on both ovaries. Non-functional Non-functional cysts may include the following: * An ovary with many cysts, which may be found in normal women, or within the setting of<unk>  ovary syndrome * Cysts caused by endometriosis, known as chocolate cysts * Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst * Dermoid cyst * Ovarian serous cystadenoma * Ovarian mucinous cystadenoma * Paraovarian cyst * Cystic adenofibroma * Borderline tumoral cysts File:Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst.Transvaginal ultrasonography of a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, probably originating from a corpus luteum cyst.
