Re: w/ultrasound, how can we tell if what they see is a cyst or tumor?? From: Dona (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 30 Mar 2001 21:10:34 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Dona: "Re: huh?" Previous message: Char: "Re: Birth control pills and PCOS" In reply to: cris: "w/ultrasound, how can we tell if what they see is a cyst or tumor??" The cysts that woman with PCOS have appear on a ultrasound looking like a strand of pearls there are usually multiple small cysts all lined up like a neclace. Tumors usually appear as just a large or small mass of tissue. Hope this helps a bit..maybe someone can explain it better. and yes it is genetic they are finding it as a defect in chromosome 19 as a defect in the insulin uptake receptors which leads to PCOS.
