Q: Swollen lymph nodes and cystadenoma carcinoma ?

I just recently had a pelvic ultrasound and the results were a large complex adnexal mass external of the ovaries. The ovaries wher not seen. The findings were cystadenoma carcinoma. I have been referred to a gynocolgist for a biopsy. I am a low income woman Livingston, TX and am having trouble finding a doctor that will accept a payment plan. How much is a biopsy? I applied for indegent care, a couple of weeks ago and just received a letter for interview in a month. I would like to get this biopsy done asap if I can find a doctor that will work with me. I am having a very painful ache on both sides of my neck and my lymph nodes seem to be swollen. A large area of bruises have popped under both arms? Could this be connected to the mass. I am nausious quit ofter and have indegestion. I hurt in my hips most of the time. Could this also be related to the mass. My periods consist of a brown dischage (like old blood) for the first 3 or 4 days. I am very anxious to find out what is going on. I will appreciate any answers and help I can get!
Thanks!
Becky

I am sorry to hear of your difficult situation. I hpoe that you have already applied for Medicaid, or other available indigent healthcare coverage plans in your area.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to offer a specific diagnosis for patients over the internet. However, based upon the information that you have provided, I agree that it is important for you to have this mass removed, so that a proper diagnosis can be provided (if the mass is benign, then removing it should be curative, of course).

It is difficult to say if your associated symptoms are related to this mass, as further testing (including the final diagnosis for your mass) would be necessary.

I hope that you can gain access to the care that you require, and soon.

Sincerely/ Robert A. Wascher, MD, FACS
