I (post-menopausal 52 y/o) went in to urgent care about a month ago with stomach pains. Doctor thought it was a ruptured appendix, but sent me for a CT scan to verify. Turns out it was diverticulitis, but on the CT scan they noticed a a complex cyst on my left ovary, however they couldn't be sure if it was just a fibroid, which is definitely there, or also a mass.
I was referred to an ultrasound which I finally had 4 days ago. I got the results later in the afternoon and they marked it as abnormal because they still can't tell if there's a mass attached to the ovary or not. The report says "HISTORY: Possible left adnexal/ovarian mass vs. fibroid on CT".
My doctor sent me a note the next day saying "The ultrasound results still suggest the mass near the left ovary is most likely a fibroid extending out from the surface of the uterus, but the radiologist isn't 100% confident. I'm sending the pictures to our OBGYN surgeons to get their recommendation on next steps."
So now what? Will they do some kind of biopsy or surgery? Are there any other options?
