New to me
I was just diagnosed with a "complex solid mass" on my left ovary. This is what my report said:
There is a sharply-circumscribed, but complex-appearing solid mass within the left ovary, which measures 3.9cm. This mass is predominantly hypoechoic. However, there is a 8mm echgenic focus along the periphery of this mass.
Can anyone explain what this means? I have an appointment with my doctor but I would like answers sooner if possible.

Thank you so much for the info. I did meet my doctor. He says that he very highly doubts that it cancerous but they are doing the blood test just to make a definate no. He does want to remove it though and will be going in for the very large fibroid too. Just awaiting an opening for surgery.

I realize this is an extremely old post, but on the off chance you might respond, can you update us on what happened with the solid mass? I'm going through something similar right now.

Hello,
This complex mass needs evaluation as it can be a complex cyst or a benign or malignant growth on the ovary. A complex ovarian cyst is less common than simple ovarian cyst. At such a young age it can be dermoid cyst which is a type of complex ovarian cyst and is the most common type and develops during the childbearing age. Complex ovarian cysts are generally benign. The risk of malignancy is generally higher among postmenopausal women.
Most ovarian cysts disappear in 8 to 12 weeks. If they persist then before going in for surgery we can try the birth control pills also.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
