Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Hi, I was reading through my MRI results last night which state: " Mass 5.5 cm, suggestive of a uterine leiomyoma. Next to the uterus (right side), there is a 5 mm clear area, suggesting an ovarian cyst that contains some area of bleeding. There is a a small amount of ascites. " Not knowing what " ascites " is, I did an internet search. Ascites is most commonly associated with ovarian cancer which has already metastasized. Obviously, I am very concerned. I have an appointment with a gyn on March 27. Does anyone know: Can a fibroid cause ascites? Can endometriosis (which I also believe I have but hasn't been firmly diagnosed) cause ascites? Has anyone else out there been diagnosed with ascites? Right now, I am looking for any other cause of ascites which may help calm me down until I can talk with doctor. Thanks for your help.
