I don't know what she meant. It may come back, but it can also depend on what type of cyst it was. The pathology report on the part that was removed should give your doc some indication if the cyst will come back. Make sure she goes over the report with you.

Because of this and the fact that he cyst was too close to an artery to be removed completely the entire c st was not removed. The Dr. said she was able to get the "head" of the yst and felt this was enough to prevent it from regrowing. I had terribl pain with this cyst and the Dr. told me after the surgery this was prob bly due to the fact of the direction the cyst was growing. She also said that if the cyst grew back I would need my ovary removed. Could you expl in to me what she meant that the cyst grew the oppsite way? Also what ar the odds of the cyst coming back? thank you
