large abdonimal cystic mass

[marmstrong]

I have been diagosed with a cytstic mass that is 29.8 cm by about 19 cm. My blood work came back at 18 ( the CA-125) I have had a CT scan, but have not gotten the results back yet. What do you think that this could be?

They found a 21 cms. cystic mass on my right ovary. I am having surgery this coming monday to remove it. I am praying that they only take the right ovary and the mass because i am only 27 and married with no children.
please if anyone has advice email me at ***@****

Hi Everyone,
Last year I was diagnosed with a 4.5cm fluid cyst on my right ovary.
The doctor said just to watch it, well now 9 months later....... I now have
multisepatated, cystic mass of the right adnexa, measuring 10.1 x 6.1 x 4.2cm. I will go back to the doctor and see what he says, I have been
in severe pain and my stomach has grown...... I have gained 27 pounds.
I am sort of scared, but my CA-125 came back normal. Let me know
what you guys think. Do you think the doctor will remove the entire ovary?

Hey everyone! About a year ago I began to have my period all month every month. I told my mom and we went to the doctor... I went to my gynocologist and he looked at me and told me I looked five months pregnant.. He brought in the dopper and of course did not get a heartbeat. He immediatly sent me to ultrasound.. They is where they found a massive cystic mass. He sent me home and I had to be back at the end of the week to have a CT done. I was scheduled to go back to his office that next week... I didnt make it to then.. That Sat. I had very bad back pain and we loaded up the car and went to Children's Hospital in Birmingham. There I saw 12 different surgeons. They didnt quite know what to do.. they knew they had to get it out but they had never seen one that big. I came through surgery just fine. I lost my right ovary. But it has been six months and I have not had the first sign of any problems. If anyone is going through this and you have any questions feel free to ask!

Hi! I am meeting with my surgeon next Wednesday, May 4. Surgery will be scheduled at that time. My abdomen is huge! I look like I am 8 months pregnant! It is definitely getting alot bigger. I did speak to the director of womens health at a hospital here, and she has known of these fast growing huge cystic masses that are nothing more than that. So I am very encouraged, and just want this thing out, so that I can get in my bathing suit this summer! Other than that I feel great. Just a bit tired, from carrying this thing around! Thanks for keeping in touch!

How are you? Have you been booked in for surgery?  Let us know how you are!  You're in my thoughts, take care!

My regular intern referred me to the surgeon. She had ordered all of the tests that I have had done.

iT SOUND LIKE YOU ALL HAVE GOOD GYNECOLOGISTS.  i HAVE BAD LUCK AND LIVE IN MA WITH NO LUCK.  HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE DOCTORS?

I have had an ultrasound, blood work and just the other day a CT Scan - the blood work came back at an 18, and the CT showed a large abdominal mass (roughly 29CM x 20CM). All other organs look very good. The left ovary is visible and good, but the right one was not visible. I am seeing a gynocological surgeon in a couple of weeks. Any comments?

On the 10th of march I had a Cyst/mass of 30 cm x 20cm removed watermelon size or 12" x 8" for those not in metric.

I had this Cyst on my right ovary.  They were all set to do a full hysterectomy etc.  But, then decided that they would remove just the Rt ovary and do a biopsy of omentum. As they were quite sure from the Ultra sound & CT scan's and my CA125 @ 35 it would be BENIGN!

Because of it's size I did have to have a verticle laparotomy between belly button-bikini line,  I have just had my staples removed and healing well!

I was worried that it could be Cancer but, yesterday I was given the all clear from hospital.  I came on this site and was given a lot of sound advice which I needed and helped me through these last month's. I would like to thank them for their kind post's.
I hope that I might have helped you!

Please let me know what test's etc., you have had!!
