It is quite dangerous. If the cyst gets too large, it could burst which is very painful. If it is complex, then the likelihood of it being cancerous goes up. It is something that definitely has to be dealt with.

A complex ovarian mass probably involves at least one ovary and fallopian tube. If the mass is non-cancerous, your friend may be able to have the single ovary surgically removed. Occasionally, a mass can be removed without removing the ovary, but this is not as common. If the mass is cancerous, she will need to be evaluated by an oncologist.
