Impression says: "21 cm right adnexal cystic mass. From the size, ovarian neoplasm is a consideration. Both benign and malignant ovarian tumors can arise to this size. It is likely this represents an endometrioma or pelvic duplication cyst."
First, all research I have found do not mention cysts over 4 in....mine has been identified as 21 cm or 8-9 in. Is this uncommon?
Second, what is "ovarian neoplasm," "adnexal," "septations," "echogenicity," "endometrioma," and "pelvic dupication cyst?"
Third, I am not a hospital person nor have I ever had surgery or have been admitted to a hospital. Most research I have seen states over a 4 in cyst would recommend surgery. Is this inpatient and a long recovery time?
Last, my father is concerned is the cyst ruptures (considering it's size) what would happen? I did not know what to tell him.
