Info on palpable mass on ovary found but does not show up on Ultrasound?

Jm2790

I had a rather large palpable mass found on my ovary yet went in for the ultrasound transvaginal and radiologist report said was not seen, yet I have fibroid cysts in my uterus. My mother had breast cancer so I am wondering about this and requested I be seen by a gynecologist oncologist. Am I over reacting?? Thanks so much.

Better safe than sorry
Ask your GYN for pelvic CT scan and blood test (CA125).
Because of your family history you may also want to do genetic testing (BRCA1/BRCA2).

I agree with Alexandra's advice! Please keep us posted.

Here is what my ob/gyn
Here is what my ob/gyn friend told me: "Ultrasound is not a good diagnostic tool for ovarian cancer." Indeed, two gyn's told me I had a large fibroid, when it was a large ovarian tumor. I second the advice to get a CT and CA-125 test.
