corpus luteum cyst





















































a corpus luteum cyst is a type of ovarian cyst which may rupture about the time of menstruation, and take up to three months to disappear entirely. a corpus luteum cyst rarely occurs in women over the age of 50, because eggs are no longer being released after menopause. corpus luteum cysts may contain blood and other fluids. the physical shape of a corpus luteum cyst may appear as an enlargement of the ovary itself, rather than a distinct mass -like growth on the surface of the ovary.
