In case of ovarian cyst, will they remove the entire ovary?

Hi,

It looks like the right ovary is having a complex ovarian cyst. It could be malignant also (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Please get alpha-fetoprotein AFP, HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and CEA carcinoembryonic antigen. Depending upon the diagnosis you should plan surgery and it will be with frozen section of the mass to rule out malignancy. So that, extra precautions to prevent recurrence and avoiding spread to other ovary. Ideally you should remove mass surgically without damaging surrounding ovarian tissue with laparoscopic expert. No need to remove the entire ovary. Unfortunately, you may need chemotherapy if mass is malignant. Please go for egg freezing before planning for chemotherapy. As you are young, depending upon severity of the situation you can think for egg freezing after surgery.

Please get a color Doppler done to see the exact flow, as present scan is showing the impaired flow. Also, they have not mentioned whether it is twisted or not (torsion).

Left ovary looks fine and no growth were affected (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Right ovary has complex mass without vascularity means mostly it is a benign mass. It could be a complex ovarian cyst. Ideally, histopathology report and intraoperative finding on laparoscopy will give you the best and confirmatory diagnosis.

Yes, laparoscopic biopsy is definitive and confirmatory for diagnosis. Tumor markers and color Doppler can guide for diagnosis with 80 % to 90% sensitivity.
