Need help understanding US wording

[jamadon]

I am unsure of what a lot of the wording means.  I would love for someone to explain it.  I know the obvious..like my uterus is gone LOL
It says:
CLINICAL HISTORY: OVARIAN MASS
COMPARISON: NONE
Ultrasound - Pelvic - Transabdominal and Transvaginal
EXAMINATION: Ultrasound - Pelvic - Transabdominal and Transvaginal 11/25/2009 AT 1402
TECHNIQUE: Real-time sonographic evaluation of the pelvis was carried out in transverse and
longitudinal orientation.
i
FINDINGS:
The uterus has been removed.
Right ovary is 3.32 x 1.74 x 2.24cm and is unremarkable.
The left ovary is 6.93 x 4.95 x 6.74cm, including a complex partially cystic mass measuring 5.9cm.
Malignancy is nonexcludable. There is a fluid-fluid level noted within this cystic appearing area,
possibly representing hemorrhage with hematocrit level. Further evaluation is suggested.
IMPRESSION:
Complex cystic appearing nearly 6cm mass left ovary. Maliganncy nonexcludable. Further
evaluation suggested.

I am mostly concerned with knowing what There is a fluid-fluid level noted within this cystic appearing area,
possibly representing hemorrhage with hematocrit level. means.
Any help or advice is helpful.
Thanks

I had read that before.  Non of those seem right to me.  It can't be endometrioma, i assume, because I had a hysterectomy 5 years ago.  Anyway, I went today to the dr and he said it just meant they could see fluid that may have blood characteristics.  I am having surgery on Dec. 18th.
Thanks for the response!!  I had just about given up.

I think this description of complex cysts might help you.  

Complex ovarian cysts occur less commonly, but typically have more serious outcomes. Complex cysts are those that have both solid and liquid components. There are three common types of complex ovarian cysts. Dermoid cysts form from the cells that produce human eggs (ova). These cells are non-differentiated, which means that they have the potential to develop into any tissue in the human body. As a result, dermoid cysts often contain tissues such as hair, skin or teeth. Dermoid cysts are rarely a cancerous cyst, but they can become large and painful and can cause your ovaries to twist, causing pain.

A second type of complex ovarian cysts, known as an endometrioma, typically develops as a result of endometriosis. In endometriosis, uterine cells grow outside the uterus. Uterine tissue therefore has the potential to attach to your ovary and form a growth. The final type of complex ovarian cyst develops from ovarian tissue. These cystadenomas are usually filled with a watery liquid or mucous and have the potential to grow to be very large – up to 12 or more inches in diameter. Such a large cyst will result in your ovary becoming twisted and excruciatingly painful.

Do keep us posted on your treatment.  Good luck with everything.
