Found 15cm mass covering both ovaries

Stick
Offline

Hi I have just found out I have a 15cm mass with solid parts covering both ovaries . I also have asiites in abdomen. I have a ca125 of 79 but all other tumour markers are negative. I have had a ct scan and there is nothing anywhere else it is confined to the pelvis . I realise I will need surgery but could this be a dermoid cyst and still have ascites ? I’m driving myself mad looking everything up all the time .thanks

    Hello so ca125 can be raised for all sorts of reasons like endometriosis which can cause endometrias which are cysts on the ovaries. And endometriosis can cause fluid in the abdomen. Unfortunately if you Google ca125 it says its a cancer blood test, but non cancer causes can cause it to be elevated too.
