A member asked:

Removing benign serous cystadenoma any possibility of it returning and is there a chance that cancer could accur if the ovary is left intact?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serous cystadenoma: Is not cancer, but, if the cyst ruptured, it can spread in the peritoneum like a cancer! this is not a matter for self diagnosis or 400 character consultation. Please see your doctor.
