A member asked:

I was diagnosed with a 1.4 cm hemorrhagic ovarian cyst. i have a history of thyroid cancer. can these cysts ever be cancerous? thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Ovarian cancers can be and often are cystic. However, you should discuss this with your doctor as small cysts with hemorrhage are far commoner than ovarian cancers. In the mean time you may consult this site for information on this topic. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ovarian-cancer/basics/definition/CON-20028096

Could a cyst be a sign of ovarian cancer if you have premature ovarian failure? I have awful pain, increased urination and prolonged heavy bleeding.
Ultrasound says: "16 mm small hemorrhagic cyst on right ovary with free anechogenic fluid near it. No follow-up necessary". Does that mean it's not malignant or ovarian cancer? What made the doc say "no follow up necessary"? Will it grow bigger?
