Ovarian Cyst

by dukester, Sep 29, 2004 12:00AM
I recently had an ultrasound done, and found that I have a 1.9 x 1.4 x 1.5 cm complex cyst on my left ovary with hyperechoic foci.  (My right ovary was removed 20 years ago.) My gyn did a CA 125 which was normal, and now I am scheduled for a repeat ultrasound in 4 weeks.  I have been having mild discomfort (cramp-like) in the area of my ovary for several months.  Both of my grandmothers died of gynocologic (not breast) cancer in their late 40's, but my mom is fine.  I am 44 with normal periods (except severe cramping where my left ovary is).  My questions are 1) what does hyper echoic foci mean? and 2) is there any real reason for concern?
