A member asked:

Please help, solid mass found on my ovary. :( what is the liklihood of cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No guess work here: A solid mass in ovary can be cancerous. So it should be removed and examined by a pathologist to determine its nature. It may be benign or could even be cancerous; only the pathologist, by doing a microscopic examination, can define its nature/cause.
