A 5-cm in diameter right ovarian cyst is found incidentally during the first prenatal examination of an otherwise healthy 22-year-old primigravida at 12 weeks' gestation. The most likely diagnosis is
   1)    a dermoid cyst.

    2)    a mucinous cystadenoma.

    3)    an endometrioma.

    4)    a follicular cyst.

    5)    a corpus luteum cyst.

follicular and luteal cysts are functional cysts occur during normal physiologic functioning of the ovaries and regress spontaneously within 6 to 9 weeks, therefore I think that ther is no functional cysts in the 12th week of the pregnancy except for theca lutein cysts, I guess, so the answer is dermoid cyst
