👉 In medicine, a "hydrothecal" is a type of cyst that forms in the abdomen. It is typically found at the level of the umbilicus (the point where the stomach and bowel meet) but can also occur elsewhere on the body, such as in the pelvis or the lower back. Hydrothecal tumors are common in children and adults, but they can be more rare in certain populations, including those with a history of abdominal surgery or those who have had abdominal trauma.
