new patient 35 yo who during a tubal last year was noted to have a 5cm "cyst" on right ovary. it was removed and the final pathology was mucinous tumor of low malignant potential. was told "these things never come back" and no further tx or surgery was offered or done. insurance changed and now is my patient. on exam she had a mass on the left and u/s shows a 5cm complex mass of left ovary.

would you: consider her never staged and go to staging lap with hyst? scope her, remove the ovary and hold on staging based on final path? lavh and await final path?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
