Clarification of terms and possible weight of Cystadenoma

Age: 28 Sex: F Height: 5"9 Weight: 208 Race: Caucasian Duration of complaint: A year or so Location: Attached to right ovary and extending into abdomen

Just wanted a second opinion/ possibly more information on a cystedenoma found in my abdomen this week. I am waiting to see a gynecological oncologist and its eating me alive in the interim. I am curious as to what the estimated size/shape/weight could be based on the measurements given to me by the doc that reported on my MRI. Looking for clarification of the directional terms.
Here's an excerpt from the MRI: "Large T2 hyperintense mass identified occupying much of the central pelvis possibly originating from the right adnexa. Lesion measures 15.6 cm transverse by 13 cm AP, extending up to 20 cm craniocaudal extending into the abdomen. Thin internal septations are present without abnormal enhancement, nodular elements, or thick peripheral capsule. No significant free fluid, adneopathy, or enteric inflammatory finding."

Some of these terms I am not familiar with. I am curious as to how far into my abdomen it goes, and what the estimated size and weight could be. Thank you for your time and consideration!!

I had a 9.5cm cyst which is about the size of a grapefruit. It caused me to gain about 4 lbs. From the MRI info you listed, it sounds like it's probably benign as most ovarian cysts are.

Have you met with the gyn oncologist yet? Hopefully he/she or whatever surgeon you choose can do a cystectomy and save your ovary since its removal can cause impaired fertility as well as long term health problems.

Good luck. Please keep us posted.
