3 -- Endometrial cysts are caused by endometrial overgrowth and are often filled with old blood, which leads to the name “chocolate cysts.” Endometrial cysts are the result of endometrial implants on the ovary and are associated with endometriosis. These cysts are not associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, use of oral contraceptives, or hormone imbalance.
