Question 1

please explain: calcification along the endometrial/myometrial border found during us following m/c. minimally complex ovarian cyst measuring 1x1x1cm.

Accepted Answer

ASK YOUR DOCTOR: A 1cm ovarian cyst is usually not problematic.  The fact that is described as "minimally complex" suggests that it be followed, either by pelvic exam or repeat ultrasound.  What is M/C?  I don't know the reason for the calcification noted, but the ordering physician should have an explanation.

Question 2

calcified ovarian cyst, should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Yes it needs to be: Most normal ovarian cysts do not get calcified..If they are calcified they are not follicular/ovulatory.A calcified cyst is more likely to be dermoid, fibroid, fibroma and even may be cancer.It needs to be removed.

Question 3

if a dermoid  ovarian cyst bursts  what could happen?

Accepted Answer

Pain, adhesions.: A dermoid cyst is full of a oil like substance and often hair and other debris that can cause a lot of internal irritation/inflammation.  This can lead to something called adhesions, where the internal organs stick together.  All of this will cause immediate pain.  If the rupture is during surgery, and rapid suction/cleanup is performed, the results are usually very good.

Question 4

what happens if a dermoid ovarian cyst leaks?

Accepted Answer

Well : When a cyst ruptures you can have pain information and occasionally pelvic infection. See obstetrician gynecologist for specific diagnosis and treatment

Question 5

i have a 3cm septated ovarian cyst.  at what point/size should it be surgically removed.  i have a hx of dermoid teratoma/partial oophrectomy.

Accepted Answer

It depends: Good evening,

It appears that you already follow with GYN, so they should be able to tell you when the cyst should be removed.  Many times, the cyst is monitored every 6 months to a year for interval increase in size.  If the size remains stable over time, there is no need for intervention.  Good luck.

Question 6

can a dermoid ovarian cyst go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

No: Dermoid cysts are new growths, not physiological, so spontaneous resolution will not occur

Question 7

can a dermoid ovarian cyst grow due to a bad diet?

Accepted Answer

Dermoid: Dermoids or teratomas are a tumor of the germ cells or eggs in the ovary. A very poor diet or poor nutritional status could affect your body's natural ability to stop the growth of tumor cells.

Question 8

what should be done for a 13cm dermoid ovarian cyst?

Accepted Answer

Remove: It needs to be removed soon, at 13 cm it is a risk for rupture or torsion. Dermoids never go away without surgery, talk with your doctor promptly.

Question 9

can a small dermoid ovarian cyst go away on its own?

Accepted Answer

No: Functional cysts such as follicles are intended to rupture (that's ovulation, ) many abnormal cysts (endometriomas, benign tumors, dermoid cysts) will not go away unless removed. SO if it's a dermoid it will stay and keep growing; conversely if it DOES go away on its own it wasn't  dermoid. Good wishes.

Question 10

what is a dermoid ovarian cyst with hair?

Accepted Answer

Benign tumor: It's a benign tumor (teratoma) that comes from a cell that can techincally become every other cell in the body so that it generally can have hair, tooth and even some neural tissue.  They are benign but generally need to be removed.
