Brenner tumor...

[suzan w]

Got a copy of the pathology report from my oophorectomy (after the nurse called to tell me everything was "normal") and it said that there was a 1.5 mm benign Brenner tumor in the smaller ovary. I googled it and read all about them...and am very glad I made the choice to have the surgery! Even though they are almost always benign they can become malignant...Does anyone know anything about them??? I go on Tues. for my follow-up surgery app't. with the surgeon. Thanks!! XO Suzan

So glad you got the pesky thing out! I've never heard of it. I'm going to have them checked at my next appointment.

Glad you had them removed - esp with BRCA positive, they were more likely to give you trouble than not.

Keep up the good work!

surgeon follow-up said Brenner tumor nothing to worry about, usually benign, hardly ever turns malignant...still glad I have novaries!!! XO Suzan
