The document summarizes guidelines from a consensus conference statement on managing asymptomatic ovarian and other adnexal cysts imaged during ultrasound exams. A panel of gynecology, radiology, and pathology specialists convened to determine a consensus approach. The guidelines are meant to reduce patient and physician anxiety and limit unnecessary follow-up exams for benign or inconsequential cysts. The full guidelines are represented in a figure within the document.
