US Showed Cystic Mass With Septation. What Does This Mean?
Question: I had an u/s a week ago and it said my r ovary measured 5.6x4.7x2.9 cm and that there was a predominately cystic mass in the r ovary measuring in total 4.8x 4.3 x2.5 cm with a septation noted. There is a solid component noted within the cystic structure. No abnormal vascularity is noted in the solid component. What does thos mean? What is this
Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
When we look at an ovarian cyst, there are several factors will determine whether it is "simple" or "complex". These include:
1. Size
2. Presence of XXXXXXX "debris"
3. Septations
4. Solid components
In your case, you have a 5cm complex right ovarian cyst. As far as your uterus goes, you have what sounds like a benign fibroid. Based on your symptoms, family history and appearance of this cyst, it needs to be removed. The most common benign tumor of a reproductive aged women is called a dermoid. This can easily be done laparoscopically. I would contact your doctor and state that this is what you would like done. If they refuse or want to wait, then get a second opinion.
I hope that this helps!
