Epithelial-mesenchymal transition is essential to repair the ovarian superficial epithelium. If EMT does not occur after ovulation, the cells trapped inside ovarian stroma may form inclusion cysts and these cells are more prone to undergo MET. If epithelial markers are acquired, more specifically, E-cadherin, these cells may undergo metaplasia and evolve into a pro-oncogenic state.
