I was told by the hospital i have a teratoma on my ovary. what can i expect now?

Surgery is next.: Teratomas of the ovary are special type of tumors that may have skin type tissue inside them, fat, hair, even teeth. Most of the time they are benign, but there are rare instances in which they are malignant. They should be surgically removed ( usually removal of just one ovary is done in someone your age). Next step is an appointment with a gyn surgeon to schedule your surgery.
