A member asked:
Can a doctor mistake a non cancerous ovarian cyst for cancer. had an ultra sound done last year in september and i'm still having the same issues.

Maybe: It is possible if the cyst has solid and cystic components represented on the ultrasound. However, Clear cysts tend to be 90% benign. Ask your MD to re-examine you if you still have concerns.
