A “fishnet” (Fig. 1) has been used as a metaphor to describe the appearance of the internal contents of a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, as seen on ultrasound imaging (Fig. 2A) [1]. Hemorrhagic cysts are extremely common at pelvic sonography performed on both symptomatic and asymptomatic women [1]. Internal hemorrhage into both follicular and corpus luteum cysts can occur, although hemorrhage into the latter is more frequent. Correctly diagnosing this entity can avoid additional diagnostic procedures and unnecessary intervention [1, 2].
