Would calcifications show up on an ultrasound? I think I am going to have to call me gyn's office and ask why I am not being sent back for a 6 week follow-up pelvic ultrasound as recommended in the report.

Yes, calcifications could show up. These could be teeth and bone inside a dermoid. Dermoids are such yucky things, but also BENIGN! (I consider it to be a symptom of my inner catwoman and every once in a while we need to cough up hairballs!) Meow!
