Hello,

I am 31 years old no children yet, but have had ongoing pain for a whil in my right ovary for the past several years (about 6). I had previously been told I had a 2.8 cm cyst on my right ovary but that it was nothing and just to forget about it.

The pain has continued and I recently had another ultrasound ordered (the first in 2 years) because they wouldn't order one again so I just finally got the doctor to order it now.

Well, turns out I have a 6.2 cm cyst that appears to be benign and they are recommending surgery (laparascopic.

Here is the MRI report:

There is a 6 cm benign cyst in the posterior cul-de-sac posterior to the uterus. This can represent a benign broad ligament cyst or a __________ duct cyst (blank line they left it blank!). The possibility that this represents a cyst that could have originated from both ovaries should also be considered. This cyst does not have the appearance that is suspicious for malignant disease. The cyst does not show enhancement with gadoliunum contrast.

Normal size ovaries and uterus.

CA-125 results are 7 (normal less than 21)

CA-19-9 is 6 (<37)

My questions are:

1. Is this possibly in any way cancerous, the reasons I ask is because I have MANY symptoms of ovarian cancer, have gained a lot of unexplained weight, had hair growth suddenly, stomach so swollen, urinary frequency, lower back pain, etc.

2. Is a cyst the same as a tumor?

3 Should I get a second opinion and this might be a stupid question but would a gynecologist oncologist be someone to consult with at all?

Thank you!
