Does A Ovarian Mass Indicate Cancer?
My 33 year old daughter has not had a period for over a year. She has PCOS and a solid mass on one ovary. Her uterine lining is 1.05 cm. She is scheduled for an MRI with contrast. I am very concerned. We don t have a family history of cancer. She wants to have children. Can you give me some information?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Possibility of malignancy is less likely in her case as her age is too young. And mass lesion is most probably due to PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome).
The characteristics of mass like
1. Irregular margins
2. Absence of calcification
3. Enlarged lymphnodes
Will favour malignancy. But for this MRI or CT is needed.
So get done MRI.
This will also helpful in taking biopsy to rule out malignancy.
In my opinion it will be part if PCOS. So treat PCOS and this will disappear.
