A member asked:

My 11 year old had a pelvic us that found a 11cm x 7cm x 11cm ovarian mass. report states complex cystic and solid mass with internal septation and a solid component. solid component approx 4.4cm w/ surface nodularity. should i assume cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mass: There are several causes for ovarian masses including benign (not cancer) and malignant (cancerous). Blood work called tumor markers can sometimes help your doctors clinical suspicion but the only definitive way to diagnose is to remove the mass and have the pathologist review the specimen. You may be referred to pediatric gynecologist or oncologist.
