Needs evaluation: Complex adnexal masses in postmenopausal women should be evaluated. Her doctor will need to advise if surgical removal is warranted. Family history of ovarian cancer increase risk and one should consider familial cancer screening for carrier status. BRCA 1 and 2 testing can be done.
