What does a CT showing a cystic-solid mass in the right ovary mean?
CT showing a cystic-solid lesion in the right ovary generally indicates the presence of a mixed cystic and solid mass within the right ovary. A detailed explanation is as follows:
A cystic-solid lesion in the right ovary is typically a pathological description observed during CT imaging, indicating that a cyst has formed within the patient's ovary, containing both liquid and solid components inside the cyst wall. This may result from conditions such as ovarian chocolate cysts (endometriomas) or mature teratomas, or it could be caused by malignant ovarian tumors. The cyst may appear irregular on the surface with poor mobility.
Upon identifying such findings, it is recommended to follow up under the guidance of a gynecologist or obstetrician with further examinations to determine the nature and extent of the lesion, and to receive appropriate treatment to prevent disease progression and potential complications.
