My mother is 80 years old and had a ct scan done on her stomach. They found a 4 cm mass on her left side where her left ovary would be. she had a full hysterectomy when she was 40 years old, no ovaries left. So, my question is what possibly could this mass be. She is concerned about having a laparoscopy done. Her doctor said it could of been there for a long time. But my mom is concerned that it could be something growing and become worse. What could is possibly be? Could a mass be cancer? The doctor said it could be something or nothing. Please give my your opinion. My mother is very upset about this. Other than this, my mom is healthy and a young 80 year old.
thank you,
