question regarding dermoids

In surfing the web for cyst information, it seemed like the majority of women with dermoids KNEW they had dermoids before they were surgically excised...I know it is possible to see a tooth on xray, but most of these women seemed to be diagnosed with dermoid by TV ultrasound alone...Just wondering if that was true for anyone here who has had a dermoid removed...

I had a dermoid removed along with the ovary and as I recall they said they suspected it to be a dermoid after the us but didn't say for sure.

I had two softball sized dermoids, but they did not know that until they were removed.  Sometimes you can tell and it also depends on the report the dr gets from the radiologist as to what info is given.

I also had a large Dermoid removed. But, they only suspected it from the US and didn't confirm it until they removed it  Cindy

I had a dermoid cyst and left ovary removed March 9.  They didn't know for sure what it was until I had an mri.
