Another good list Raj - thanks

I have also read that a "serous cystadenoma" is the most common benign ovarian tumor but surely it should be a corpus luteum or simple cyst?

hi nick,

the corpus luteal cyst and simple cyst are both physiological and not classified as tumors. hence when we say tumor, i'll stick to serous cystadenoma.

cheers
raj

Maybe but that could be an 'americanism' as after all what is a tumour?
