I have a question on Dermoid Cysts: I am 43 years old and my 2 kids are 12 and 10) A 1" cm dermoid was found accidently last October on an MRI. I have had a followup ultrasound and the cyst is still there and is not about 1.3 CM. I have been told that the Ovary would probably need to come out as well (cyst may be on a blood supply and is small). I would rather keep watching it rather than have surgery and probably lose an Ovary but do not want to have any cancer risk. What should I do?
