A related discussion,
complex ovarian mass was started.
I am so glad to hear that. Nothing is worse than the unknown. Good luck with surgery. I know I had never had surgery and was surpirsed that it was no so bad.
Thanks for your posts. My tumor markers are negative, so I'm resting easier now. Surgery in less than one week.
Hi I just wanted to say that I too had a solid/liquid mass hete(sp?) and when I had my surgery 1 1/2 ago it turned out to be a dermoid. I know you are scared but I would definately have it removed. I know the worst part for me was not knowing. Good luck. You are in my prayers.
Hi There,
I agree that an ovarian mass over 5 cm should be removed. So you are proceeding with the correct plan. It is not possible to know what this is until it is evaluated under the microscope. Most masses and cysts are benign. I know that does not change your anxiety but you are getting taken care of very quickly
best wishes to you
Just got a copy of my records and this mass was actually there over 2 years ago on another CT scan. All 3 radiologists have called it a teratoma/germ cell. Funny that my 2 previous physicians didn't report this to me. Anyway, the most recent ultrasound shows uterus to be 9x5.6 cm, endometrium is 4 mm and the mass is described as a heterogeneous cystic/solic mass measuring 9.3x6.2x7.8 cm and mildly increased in size vs technique with no vascular flow seen within the lesion. I am 46 years old and G3,P3,A1. I hope this helps you. Thanks again!
