A member asked:

How does a biopsy of an ovarian cyst happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. Sean Williamson answered

Usually not: Usually biopsies are not performed on the ovary. Rather if there is a cyst or mass that is suspicious, it will usually be removed entirely, either with or without the rest of the ovary. However not all cysts need to be removed. Sometimes a cyst can be a normal finding.
