Left ovary: Surely your doctor has discussed this with you! It may or may not be a cancer and the radiologist who did the imaging must have shown the data to your doctor. If you have not been told of the result of the study please call your doctor ASAP. If you have been told but don't fully understand the result please go online to read several simple articles that could help you understand.

Most likely benign: Statistically this is by far more likely to represent a benign incidental finding on CT. In woman of reproductive age, this most commonly represents a hemorrhagic cyst that will resolve on its own. Since CT is suboptimal imaging modality in evaluation of female organs, further work up may include ultrasound to confirm benign etiology & occasionaly requires 6-12 week follow up to ensure resolution.
