Mom please help

My mom had an incidential finding of a 2.cm pelvic mass.  She is postmenopausal.  Has anyone heard of any possibility that post menopausal cyst can still be benign?

Much thanks for you responses

Hi ,
95% of cysts are benign, of the 5% malignant ones ,  they are more usually found  in post menopausal women . Ovarian cancer is quite rare .

Best wishes Angie

Thank you.  My concern is that she is menopausal and everything I read online sounds horrific about cyst after menopause

Hi ,
sometimes reading too much on line can be really scary , I,ve done it myself , there is just too much conflicting information out there , some is very outdated as well .
I understand how scared you are , the only way to find wether a cyst is benign or malignant is with a biopsy ,  only 5% of  all cysts are malignant so the odds are in your mums favour .

I hope everything goes well for your mum , Take care  Angie
