Ovary: A complex cyst can always be cancer and I am glad you are being evaluated. Cysts that are associated with pain during sex are often endometriosis.

I have a 8.4cm hypoechoic cystic lesion on my ovary. I saw an obgyn who wants to do a lap cystectomy. An oncologist suggested a laparotomy cystectomy. Which is more recommended? Cyst is complex and possibly endometrioma, hemorhaggic or dermoid.
