These benign tumors occur relatively frequently in women of all ages and can be divided into different types, including dermoid cysts or cystadenomas.

Benign ovarian tumors are usually asymptomatic and are often discovered by chance during a gynaecological examination or an imaging examination. In some cases, however, they can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, a feeling of pressure in the abdomen, bloating, unusual bleeding and other physical complaints.

Benign ovarian tumors are diagnosed through a thorough medical history, physical examination and imaging techniques such as ultrasound or MRI. In some cases, laparoscopic surgery may be necessary to remove the tumor.

The treatment of benign ovarian tumors depends on various factors, including the type of tumor, its size and the patient's symptoms. In many cases, no treatment is required and regular check-ups by a gynecologist may be sufficient.
