Thank you for the opportunity to ask my question. Last Nov. after an abdominal CT scan, they found a tiny dermoid 1.5 cm. My Dr. followed up and in April it was still I belive 1.5 cm. Well I had an ultrasound three days ago and the findings were, Unilocular cyst apprx. 5.5 cm. My Dr. said the growth is normal , that they only worry when it grows faster and larger. I am so worried I still have 2 1/2 months to go before C-section and removal.. I am 29 years old, no family history except grandmother's aunt on fathers side had OC.
1. Can benign dermoids grow also, or just when they have malignant degeneration?
2. Is this too fast of a growth over 1 year or does it have a typical growth pattern?
3. The tech said it just looked fatty and benign.
4. My Dr. also said that it had only grown 1 1/2 in 4 /12 months?
DOes this sound like it had malignant degeneration?
Oh God please help, I don't want this to put my babies life at risk
Thank you
