I was just told I had a "BEBIGN SEROUS CYSTADENOMA" which isn't malignant. Is there still a survival rate for benign tumors of this type? If so, what are they? Also, if the tumor had not been removed along with my ovaries what could have happened? Do they just sit there and do nothing or grow in size? Wondering in Arizona

Not in all cases, no. Many ovarian cysts are found on exam when the doctor is actually looking for something else, and no treatment is required except perhaps to monitor the cyst. However, if the patient is experiencing nausea, vomiting, or severe lower abdominal pain then treatment is advised which would include removing the cyst or using medication to shrink it.
