Maybe....: How are they sure this is a cystadenoma? If it really is one, it should be removed. It will continue to grow and there's a slight chance of cancer.

No: Surgery for an ovarian cyst or growth may be advised in the following situations: ovarian growths (masses) are present in both ovaries. An ovarian cyst is larger than 3 in. (7.6 cm). An ovarian cyst that is being watched does not get smaller or go away in 2 to 3 months. An ultrasound exam suggests that a cyst is not a simple functional cyst. If it ruptures, it does not need to be removed.
