What is the medical term meaning malignant tumor of the ovary?

Answer 1

A malignant tumor of the ovary (or just about any other organ) is a tumor that has become much worse. This tumor is one that might have become invasive to the point of destroying a given organ. Or it may have "thrown off cells" and metastasized, relocating in another organ or organs.

Whatever the diagnosis, the response should be an aggressive medical workup and a full disclosure of the severity of the situation. It should then follow that a full list of possible treatment options is given to the patient. All of the aspects of diagnosos and treatment should be explained sufficiently to allow a patient (and his/her advisors) to make decisions about a treatment plan.

Answer 2

Neoplastic (new growth) cysts may appear, which are benign (noncancerous) growths. These cysts occur when cells of the ovaries not related to ovulation begin to grow abnormally.

Answer 3

Ovarian cancer. A cancerous growth arising from an ovary.
