  • Other Comments:

    The article should be a short communication and not a full length article or it should be a case report. The first two lines both in the abstract and introduction are contradictory to the literature cited by the authors themselves. Authors must refrain from mentioning first of its kind or like statements. The Reference numbers mentioned in the running text should be superscripted. I presume the role of thyroid in ovarian cyst formation is known and so the title of the MS appears to be over emphasized. Can change the statement"as proposed by Vasseur et al....Smith et al" to as proposed previously 6,7. I doubt whether the citation BJOG 1981 is the proper way to cite Br J Obst Gynec
