These cysts frequently grow slowly, at a pace of approximately 1.8 mm (0.07 inch) every year. Dermoid cysts, on the other hand, have the ability to grow in size. Certain dermoid cysts have been known to grow more rapidly, between 8 and 25 mm (0.3 to nearly 1 inch) per year.

Cysts are accumulations of fluid within structures encapsulated with epithelial tissue. In the ovary, the existence of cysts is normal, due to the physiological process of ovulation. Thus, this growth is related to the normal ovulatory cycle of women. However, it may be the case that pathological cysts exist or develop in some patients. In these cases, its growth is variable depending on the condition and type of cyst, as well as the prognosis and treatments.
