My 17 yr old daughter had the large cyst removed. It was actually 2 large and one baseball sized cysts.They were benign.[8D][] The cysts were drained the day before surgery. 3.2 liters of fluid were extracted. The cysts that were removed weighed approx 6lbs. Unfortunately one cyst was necrotic and the ovary had to be taken. the cyst on the opposite side was removed and surgeons were able to save part of the ovary and reconstruct it.[]
