MASS FOUND

tft
I hae been diagnosed with a mass located in the lower left quadrant of the abodmen.  I had a complete hysterectomy more than 20 years ago and never had a problem.  I recently had a VBG (Vertical Banding Gastroplasy) and have experience great success with this procedure.  My concern is that this mass appeared within the last 9 to 11 months.  Can anyone give me an insight what might me causing the orange size mass.

Thank you.

As Marie stated it could be Ovarian Remnant Syndrome.  I have this and it sure can cause a lot of confusion.  Ask your doctor to do a FSH test and it will tell them if you have functioning ovary left.  It could be scar tissue too.  That can also cause some severe pain and discomfort.  Did they do an ultrasound to detect the mass?  I would suggest that you make an appointment with a gyn/onc since they have three years more schooling than a gyn.  They also deal with unusual circumstances more often too.  Good luck and keep us updated on how you are doing.

Having something like this after 20 years is odd.  Were both ovaries removed at that time or did they keep one or both for you?

It "could be" ovarian remnant syndrome that led to development of a cyst.  Or scar tissue.  They need to figure this out for you.  I hope this all leads to some good news.  Please keep us updated.
