ovarian mass

[Ova104]

Has anyone had any experience of a complex cyst going away on MRI?

Hi ova104 saw your message and would like to be of help. I see noone has replied yet so I think your question has probably baffled a few followers, I may be wrong so just letting you know I have had a lot of experience about ovarian tumours, cysts etc as I was diagnosed in 2020. What an awful year too when covid was discovered. So for now, answering your question an MRI scan finds diseases it doesnt cure them so no, it doesn't go away. Your doctors will have a full report and my advice would be go and ask your doctor the same question and I'm pretty sure they will be very helpful in explaining what the MRI scan does. I found it wasnt easily visible being a mass which I had so make sure you get a follow up from your doctor to put your mind at rest. If you haven't been contacted then it usually means theres nothing urgent that needs addressing. Good luck

thanks for your help going back for repeat scan. Unfortunately the consultant I was with is not answering all my questions too vague got him the cds of my old scans and he made no comment. My own doctor has referred me to someone else. Feel I wasted time.

this study is interesting

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/110...

Conclusions: Although a very small proportion of the clinically silent ovarian abnormalities found on ultrasonography are determined to be ovarian cancers, the remaining complex cysts and other clinically suspicious abnormalities do not appear to be the immediate precursors of ovarian cancer.

thanks for your reply but I had a complex cyst in 2015 and that is not showing on the results in 2017. So either the radiology reported wrong.... So the cysts I have now 2023 are probably there since 2015 and have grown to the size they are now if complex cysts do not go away. I have given the consultant all the scans to look at because it is not making sense to me. I meant is it possible it could be wrongly diagnosed as an ovarian cyst/mass given I have endometriosis.

The study is quite alarming. Yes dagnosis could be wrong. My diagnosis was based on my ca125 results but i remember how vague some of the answers i received in 2020, the size of the tumours one at 5- 10cm the other only a few millimeters and the location of the mass i just assumed from the consultant's findings was hidden or difficult to locate. We put our trust in our consultants. 2yrs on i am stable but the chemotherapy has taken its toll over time. I now take daily targeting chemotherapy drugs, Rubacaparib. Good luck.
