Funtional or physiologix- follicles, hemorrhagic, corpus luteal

Inflammatory- PID, endometrioma

Other benign-paratubal cysts, hydrosalpinx, ectopic, ovarian torsion

Benign neoplasms-

Germ cell- mature teratoma
Sex cord- fibroma
Epithelial- serous or mucinous cystadenoma

Malignant-

Multiple relatives with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colon, GI, endometrial, pancreatic
Women with more than one primary cancer, such as bilateral breast plus ovarian
Cancer diagnosed in a family member younger than 50
