How does a Heterogeneous cystic ovarian solid right mass become a cystic corpus luteum.

I resently had a laparotomy to remove what the ultrasound described as being a solid right mass measuring 52mm. Cyst adenoma being the most likly cause of the appearance. After the surgery i was told that 2 small cysts were removed
One a Follicular cyst and the other a corpus luteum. Im trying to understand why what was said to be there was in fact not?

Thanks for replying Laney,
I had a ultrasound and trans vaginal, I think thats what they call it, at the end of march and saw a gynecologist that same week. He stated that I had a mass that appeared to have a suspicious appearance. I booked into hospital, but due to a long waiting list decided it would be better and quicker to be closer to home at the local hospital. My doctor then referred me to a gynecologist closer to home. I saw him about 20th April and he book me in to have a Laparoscope for the 5th of May, but instead, performed a laparotomy. He was guided by the original images. I received a Histopathology report, if this is what your referring to as an operation report.

Thanks again for listening.

Hi,
I don't know how something so large would turn into a follicular cyst and a corpus luteum cyst. These are normal cysts for women of child bearing age. I do know, that manytimes cysts do just resolve themselves, which could be the case of your large cyst and the 2 normal cysts developed just recently before you had surgery. I would ask for the operation report just to be sure everyone is on the same page. How many times did you have scans or ultrasounds to see the large cyst?
Let us know
