[edit] dermoid cyst

The discussion of dermoid cyst here needs rewriting. A dermoid cyst more often occurs outside the ovary, and histologically it is a kind of teratoma. That is medically important. This page needs to be revised to indicate that the ovary can have a teratoma, and that the teratoma can be a dermoid cyst or a struma ovarii, or a fetus in fetu (I know a woman who had one of these removed at age 6!), or another form of teratoma. And that the teratoma can be benign or malignant. Una Smith 18:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference for study?

Does anyone know the reference or source for this statement, found in the hemorrhagic cyst section? "Studies have found that women on tetracycline antibiotics recover 25% earlier than the majority of patients, a surprising correlation found in 2004." Glacialfury 03:23, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Human reproduction

I propose removing this article from Category:Human reproduction. I have proposed narrowing the scope of that category at Category talk:Human reproduction. Please comment on the category talk page. Lyrl Talk C 15:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. Una Smith 03:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed...citing external sources

I added a reference section and have begun adding reference tags to the many inline external links being used as citations, but it looks like the links need additional corrections. Please see WP:Footnote and WP:CITE for more information. Flowanda | Talk 05:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
