I had an ultrasound in October and below are the findings. Below this one is my newest follow up ultrasound. My question is this typical of ovarian cancer. I am 47 years old and I started with abnormal menustration which is still not consistent. Should I resolve to the fact it's menopause or a strong possiblility of these findings? Any help is appreciated. I
FINDINGS: Transabdominal and transvaginal examinations were performed, the
latter for better visualization of the endometrium and adnexa. The uterus is
anteverted, retroflexed, and measures 8 x 4.2 x 6.5 cm. The endometrium is
normal and measures 9 mm. The ovaries are normal. There is a 5.4 x 4.3 x 5.4
cm left adnexal cyst with scattered internal echoes. This could be due to a
physiologic cyst or a neoplasm. Recommend a six-week followup. There is no
free fluid.
IMPRESSION: 5.4 x 4.3 x 5.4 cm left adnexal cyst with scattered internal
echoes. The differential includes a physiologic cyst versus ovarian neoplasm.
Recommend followup in six weeks.
Newest Ultrasound:
FINDINGS: Transabdominal and transvaginal sonograms were performed, the
latter of which for further delineation of the endometrium and adnexa. A
retroverted uterus measures 7.9 x 7.1 x 5 cm, without focal lesions. The
endometrium appears homogeneous and measures up to 11 mm in thickness. The
right ovary is normal in size and appearance. The left ovary measures 5.8 x
3.3 x 2.8 cm, and contains a 4.8 x 3 x 2.9 cm simple cyst. It is unclear
whether this represents the same left adnexal cyst described on prior exam
which at that time measured 5.4 x 5.4 x 4.3 cm. There is no evidence of solid
adnexal mass. Trace free fluid is present in the cul-de-sac.
IMPRESSION: 4.8 x 2.9 x 3 cm simple left adnexal cyst may represent a
physiologic cyst or a benign ovarian neoplasm. It is unclear whether this
corresponds to the same cyst identified previously. Sonographic followup in
six weeks is recommended.
