Complex cyst: If you are having regular periods then complex cysts can be monitored with serial ultrasounds. The oncologist would recommend the same thing, so an oncologist referral would be needed with a more definitive cancer diagnosis in this case.

B&M features: During ultrasound, ovarian mass is evaluated for features of likely benign mass ( unilocular, presence of <7 mm solid area, presence of acoustic shadows, smooth multi loci large<100mm tumor, no blood flow). Malignant mass is irregular solid tumor with ascites, multi locular solid tumor, diameter > 100 mm, very strong blood flow. At times it is not conclusive then repeat U/S with biopsy is next
