Subject: very large ovarian complex cystic mass
> Hi there,
> I am 42 and have just been diagnosed with a 15 x 18 cm complex cystic
> mass of the lower right abdomen which extends to the uterine fundus on
> CT scan.
> For about one year I have noticed a slight brownish colored spotting one
> week prior to menstruation, along with mild but bothersome pelvic and
> abdominal pain. My periods have and still are regular and ontime.
> I can feel this enlargement while lying down and it seems larger near
> the belly button.
> I am scheduled for an ultrasound and most likely a laparascopic
> diagnosis soon, but am nervous and would like any insight on this type
> of problem.
> Any ideas or opinions please?
> Thank you
