A member asked:

What can cause a 21cm mass in the uterus/abdomen in a 57 postmenopausal woman?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Long list: Including ovarian cysts/tumors, uterine fibroids, enlarged lymph nodes, and a host of other things. I would imagine that a ct scan would help narrow the possibilities down. If the mass was discovered by an imaging procedure then the radiologist would likely provide the most likely potential cause.
