Variable answer: Adnexal mass refers to the area around the ovary that has an undiagnosed mass by imaging studies or exam. Partially cystic refers to a fluid filled sac or cyst within or around the ovary. It implies that the rest of the mass may be solid. Follow up is important to determine the reason for a mass and whether or not it is increasing in size. Follow up with your doctor.

Ok..: Adnexal mass usually inflammatory in nature ........when the inflammation exceeds a point, it causes fluid formation, which is called a cyst.Long standing cystic fluid can get absorbed or thickened to appear as partially cystic. Avoid STD.
