I have never heard of that, but what I have heard of is PCOS. Follow the link below. Basically it is multiple luteal cysts on the ovary.
The symptoms are many and varied.
There is no known cause
Treatment is BCP to shut off ovulation and Metformin to control the insulin issues. There are other meds that may be indicated as well.
See the link below for PCOS info if it sounds like what you might be asking about.

Follicular cysts
These represent exaggeration of the usually cystic graafian follicle.

Clinical features

Follicular cysts are common occurring at any age but rarely after the onset of menopause. Many are clinically insignificant and discovered accidentally. Occasional patient will present with a palpable pelvic mass, abdominal pain, or evidence of estrogenic activity such as precocious puberty in a child or menstrual irregularity in an adult due to endometrial hyperplasia.

The cyst is thin-walled, unilocular and may be single or multiple, unilateral or bilateral. They are usually small and only rarely exceed 5cm. The contents vary from serous through serosanguinous to clotted blood.

Histology

An inner layer of granulosa cells with uniform round nuclei and little cytoplasm lines follicle cysts and an inner layer of theca interna cells, which are small and spindle-shaped. The layers may be luteinized.

Clinical behavior

Most regress spontaneously.
