CYSTOMA. 195 Sometimes the epithelial cells undergo myxomatous degeneration(Fig. 107). Hydrops of the follicles of the ovary is usually a symmetrical affec-tion occurring in both ovaries at the same time. Follicular cysts of theovary seldom result in the formation of large tumors. It was formerlybelieved that most of the simple ovarian tumors resulted from disten-tion of pre-existing Graafian follicles by proliferation of the epitheliallining. That this is not the case is now generally admitted, but thatoccasionally an ovarian cyst may have such an origin cannot be denied.
