The goals of this educational exhibit are as follows: 1. Review the broad differential diagnosis of diffuse cystic disease of the ovaries, including both non-neoplastic and neoplastic processes. 2. Review the characteristic US, CT, and MR imaging features of non-neoplastic and neoplastic processes leading to diffuse cystic disease of the ovaries, focusing on differentiating features such as size of ovaries, number and size of cysts, as well as extra-ovarian findings.

1. Differential diagnosis of diffuse cystic disease of the ovaries     a. Non-neoplastic       1. Polycystic ovarian syndrome       2. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome       3. Theca lutein cysts associated with gestational trophoblastic disease       4. Tubo-ovarian abscess       5. Multiple endometriomas       6. Peritoneal inclusion cysts    b. Neoplastic       1. Multifocal serous cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma       2. Ovarian metastases       3. Other less common ovarian neoplasms with cystic components 2. Summary
