Ovarian Cyst without ovaries

by raccoonlady, Oct 26, 2009 05:30PM
I have had a hysterectomy and both ovaries removed years ago.  I just got an initial pathology report back from a surgery I had a week ago and it said the mass they took out showed portions of hemorrhagic corpus luteal cysts and no endometriosis.  After I had a ultasound before the surgery they thought it was cancer.  After the surgery the surgeon said she thought it was a endometrioma.  Now the report is coming back saying its basiclly a functional cyst when I don't have ovaries and I have gone through menopause.  How is any of this possible?

The ultrasound showed a complex cyst with free fluid in my abdomen that turned out to be blood.

It could be ovarian remnant syndrome.  One would think that ovaries are always removed in their entirety but sometimes enough of them is left behind that even the smaller portion can still behave like ovaries to the point they can still develop cysts.  I hope it was all removed this time and that the problem is solved for you.  Are they saying everything is benign?  That's the important thing.  So sorry you had to deal with this.  A hysterectomy is supposed to put an end to these problems!
