Because a dermoid has solid components I can see it being misinterpreted. Good luck with everything.
yes, my doctor is a gyn/onc. In my last ultrasound, they ruled out malignancy and my doctor is hopeful that it is a dermoid cyst. Are there a lot of cases that dermoid cyst are being misinterpreted as malignant?
It is rare that a dermoid is malignant. Is the doctor doing your surgery a gyn/onc? If there is a concern about malignancy you should have a gyn/onc do the surgery or at least be on call to do a frozen section during the surgery. Get a second opinion if required. If the cyst were malignant they would likely give you a complete hysterectomy. You need to ask important questions about why they would not remove all if malignant and perhaps have them harvest eggs for your future fertility.
