[Initial analysis of chocolate cysts operated on by laparoscopy].
53 women with an ovarian chocolate cyst were operated in a laparoscopy. A histopathological examination showed 60.4% of endometriomas and 39.6% of hemorrhagic lutein cysts. The average age of patients with endometriomas was 33.9 while of the ones with hemorrhagic lutein cysts was 28.6. The operated patients, who were under 35 years old, could be divided into halves, one half of them had endometriomas while the other half had hemorrhagic lutein cysts. However, endometriomas appeared significantly more often in the group of operated patients who were older than 35 years old.
