A member asked:

I have a 4cm dermoid cyst on my left ovary?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Removal is ideal: Majority of dermoid cysts are benign , best option is removal most of the time by laparoscopy for a small cyst like yours , as with time they increase in size , if ruptures will cause severe chemical peritonitis and malignancy will be ruled out . It is low risk safe procedure .
