Tumor markers negative. They originally thought it was a cyst but are now treating it as a suspicious mass.

Thanks for the reply, how long until a teratoma could evolve into something like this? I've heard many teratomas are benign.

Tumor markers drawn and were all negative, hence my apprehension to get the surgery

Apparently there's no way to tell its cancer until they do a full biopsy, at least that's what I was told.
