This applies to both functional cysts and benign neoplasms like endometriomas, as well as serous and mucinous adenomas.

这适用于功能性囊肿及诸如子宫内膜异位症囊肿、浆液性或黏液性囊腺瘤等良性肿瘤。

Because they're functionally the same as the endometrium inside the uterus, endometriomas respond to hormones just like the uterus would.

由于它们具有和正常子宫内膜一样的功能，子宫内膜异位症囊肿也会和子宫一样，对激素有应答。

On the other hand, neoplastic cysts include endometriomas, serous and mucinous cystadenomas, and mature cystic teratomas, as well as malignant ovarian tumors.

另一种是赘生性囊肿，包括子宫内膜异位症囊肿、浆液性和黏液性囊腺瘤、成熟囊性畸胎瘤，以及恶性肿瘤。

Benign endometrioid tumors often have cysts filled with dark blood, so although these are called endometriomas, they are sometimes referred to as chocolate cysts.

良性子宫内膜性肿瘤经常伴随着充满暗血的囊肿，所以尽管被称作子宫内膜异位瘤，它们也常被称为巧克力囊肿。

Because of this, endometriomas tend to bleed within the cyst cavity during menstruation, and over time, they fill up with old, dark blood and shed tissue - hence why they're sometimes also called " chocolate cysts" .

因此，在经期内，它的囊腔内可能会出血；久之囊内就充满了陈旧、暗黑色的血和脱落组织，这也是它们又被称为巧克力囊肿的原因。
