Endometrioma is a type of cyst formed when endometrial tissue (the mucous membrane that makes up the inner layer of the uterine wall) grows in the ovaries. It affects women during the reproductive years and may cause chronic pelvic pain associated with menstruation.
Endometriomas are, as the name implies, a form of endometriosis that affects the ovary. In endometriosis, sections of the uterine lining (endometrium) start growing unnecessarily in other parts of the body.
