A member asked:
I'm having a 2cm echogenic lesion (dermoid?) removed from my ovary laparoscopically next week. i'm worried it's too small to be removed??

Not to worry : You really don't want to wait for something to grow up. A small nodule is much easier to remove laparoscopically than some larger ones. The size of a lesion is at least at this point in time no reason to worry. Best wishes

That is not: really that small relative to the size of detectable ovarian lesions. Laparoscopic removal may become more technically difficult as lesions get larger. If it needs to be removed based on imaging characteristics at 2cm, there is no rationale for waiting. Dermoids are benign but can cause ovarian torsion.
