A member asked:

Complex cystic mass left ovary showing interval increase. likely presumed endometrioma. cannot completely exclude cystic neoplasm. what's this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endometriosis: This sound like a cyst of endometriosis in the ovary. At your age, the risk of cancer is very small, but you need to discuss a treatment plan with your GYN. This will likely require surgery for removal.
