Worried about dermoid ovarian cysts

I have just returned from an ultrasound scan that showed i have a 14cm dermoid cyst on my right ovary. I see my ob/gyn on monday 20th feb and wondered if anyone out there knew what this means and what will happen next

Welcome to the site.  I had two dermoids removed on 12/21/2005.  One on each ovary and each dermoid was larger than my uterus!!!  Dermoids are benign.  It is an unfertalized egg that developes cells.  Mine had hair, skin, teeth, bone, cartlidge and salivary glands.  They are weird, but DO NOT WORRY!!!  Dr.s  don't really know why this happens, it just does.  You will be fine.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  If you have any questions, please ask, no matter how silly they seem.  Looking forward to talking to you soon.
