Question 1

what is ovarian cyst solid or cystic is solid concerous?

Accepted Answer

Not necessariy: Solid does not mean  cancer. A cyst  is  fluid filled like a water balloon . Solid is  solid compact tissue.

Question 2

should i be worried about a growing heterogeneous ovarian cyst that now looks more solid??

Accepted Answer

Growing ovarian cyst: While I am NOT a gynecologist a "growing" mixed density ovarian cyst is of concern.    A simple cyst -  fluid filled is generally benign but a heterogenous cyst may represent something like an endometrioma -  You don't list any symptoms but  I would recommend that you see a gynecologist and consider having the cyst removed and analyzed to make sure its not something of concern.    Good  luck

Question 3

have two ovarian cysts on my lt ovary. 4.5cm simple & 1.5cm solid. solid one has increased to 5.3cm. nothing has been done, 2nd opinion? alot of pain

Accepted Answer

Pain trumps cystsize: When you are having pain then the MD needs to consider the source. A 1.5 cm solid or 4.5 simple cysts do not usually produce severe pain due to their small size. However, a repeat ultrasound, pelvic exam or laparoscopy may be warranted.

Question 4

50 yrs; uniloculated rt ovarian cyst with no solid components of 10x8cm persisting for a year with no increase/decrease in size. can it be observed?

Accepted Answer

Observation: A simple cyst even above 8 cm has a very low chance of being a cancer.  Despite that fact, removal would be recommended because of the chance of it causing pain or torsion.  If you do not want it out, that is your decision. You physical health must also be taken into account.

Question 5

ovarian cyst with papillary excrescence within the cyst is solid tissue ?

Accepted Answer

Talk to physician: Based on the very limited information provided, you may nee dot have this ovary removed surgically.  Talk to your gynecologist.

Question 6

very painful heterogeneous ovarian cyst growing and looking more 'solid'. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Need to evaluate: I would recommend further evaluation with a gynecologist there are many different causes for ovarian growths or cysts.  Any cyst that is complex or has solid components needs further testing.

Question 7

very painful heterogeneous ovarian cyst growing and looking more 'solid'. should i be concerned? generally feel rubbish with it all too.

Accepted Answer

Seek Gyn oncologist: It is usually recommended that a complex ovarian lesion "looking more solid" be carefully evaluated and removed for pathological examination  (exploratory laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery)  to rule out a malignant ovarian tumor. Although the risk of cancer is relatively low, it would be best to seek a consultation from and the expertise of a Gyn oncologist.

Question 8

my scan says i have an ovarian cyst 5.39cm*4.40cm*4.82cm=59.91mls. no solid or cystic mass seen.
what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst ?'s: Ovarian cysts are common in women not on oral bcp's, and usually will rupture spontaneously.  An ultrasound exam which does not identify internal structure in the cyst or "solid components" will resolve in many cases by itself.  If internal structure is present, a biopsy is required (laparoscopic) to make certain the mass is not a concern for future change.

Question 9

have 5cm ovarian cyst that is partially solid.  ca125 is negative. what are chances it is cancerous? dr says looks suspicious but reassured ca125 neg

Accepted Answer

Cyst: The only way to completely rule out cancer of any kind is by directly looking at the specamin under a microscope

Question 10

can a solid hemorrhagic ovarian cyst cause random pains in the lymph nodes in the groin?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst: A "hemorrhagic" ovarian cyst is not usually a cause for groin lymph node pain. Lymph nodes are usually painful in that area secondary to an infectious process (viral or bacterial).  As ovarian cysts expand, the pain is lower abdomen, and aggravated by movement, bowel activity, sexual relations, etc.. You might ask your gyn about oral bcp to diminish the occurrence of such cysts.
