Question 1

i'm diagnosed with ovarian cystadenoma . can it be cured with proper medication? will i be able to get pregnant after cure?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy after Rx: Yes, pregnancy can occur if enough of the normal ovary is left(partial cystectomy) or the opposite ovary is normal.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: cystadenoma?

Accepted Answer

Benign tumor: By definition, this is a benign tumor of glandular origin that has one or more cavities lined with the tumor cells and containing some type of fluid. They can occur nearly anywhere and are very familiar in the ovaries.

Question 3

how much does a ovarian cystadenoma scare me?

Accepted Answer

Very little: Cystadenomas are benign and do not develop into cancer.  If they are larger than 5 cm, they can twist and damage the ovary, or they can rupture causing pain.  Furthermore, until they are removed, the fact that they are benign rather than borderline malignant or malignant, is hard to tell with certainty.  For the above reasons, removal is recommended.  But once removed, no worries!

Question 4

is an ovarian cystadenoma cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: If the diagnosis is rendered by a pathologist, a cystadenoma is the term for a benign/non-malignant tumor.  These tumors can become very large and it is usually advisable to remove these.

Question 5

what are ovarian cystadenomas and hydronephrosis/hydroureter?

Accepted Answer

Cystadenomas : Ovarian cystadenomas are usually very large cystic tumors arising from the ovaries.  As a result of their size and origin, they can cause direct compression on the nearby ureter.  The compression leads to dilation of the ureter and is called hydroureter / hydronephrosis. www.peedoc.com @drhtay.

Question 6

serous cystadenoma on ovary can turn into serous borderline cystadenoma?

Accepted Answer

Cystadenoma: Benign serous cystadenoma does not turn into borderline.

Question 7

what is a mucinous cystadenoma mean?

Accepted Answer

Good news: These tumors are most common in the ovary, where they can be huge (i've handled a few the size of basketballs or larger) but very benign. The first successful open-abdomen surgery with cure and survival was performed on the american frontier for removal of one of these by a brave surgeon.

Question 8

serous cystadenoma do they all look exactly the same inside and outside?

Accepted Answer

No, because...: In life, no two of anything all look exactly alike. It's just the way nature is. But, they can sure look very similar to one another, like a left hand and a right hand.

Question 9

does doctore need to remove serous cystadenoma for complete pathologic diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

How was it diagnosed: To be sure that an ovarian mass is serous cystadenoma, it must have been examined by a pathologist. For that to happen, it must have been removed. Therefore your question is moot.

Question 10

whats mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: A mucinous cystadenoma is a cyst of the ovary which is lined by cells which produce mucin, a gelatinous-type material.  It is benign 80% of the time but can be borderline cancerous or malignant.  Such cysts often become very large and can cause complications like torsion (twisting) of the ovary or rupture.  Surgical removal is generally required.
