Depends on the size. Expectant management seems to be adequate if the cyst remains at such a size. If the cyst is big enough to be a cause for dystocia an in utero drainage can be discussed, but is not riskless.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
