This would seem to be the most likely answer as i believe it is a cyst sac adhered to the back of the uterus. Many thanks

cystoid follicle / cyst cavity / cyst wall


Explanation:
Hallo Gillian,

This is just an educated guess, however I found some backing on the Internet and in my Glossary.

Balg in a medical context means "skin". In terms of a cyst it means the tissue around the cyst cavity. I found references for both possibilities. And I suppose you can use them depending on the context. "Cyst cavity" literally means "Zystenhohlraum". It can often be used as a synonym for Zystenbalk (see first link).

The second link provides good examples for cyst cavity and cyst wall.

If both cavity and wall are not possible soultions, I would go for follicle:

In a gynaecological context "follicle" is probably the right solution. Please read the link above.

Cheers
Claudia
