Can VBAC Be Tried Prior To Dermoid Removal?

I have a 1 cent. Dermoid on my right ovary found via ultrasound. I am 16 weeks pregant. I am really wanting to attempt a VBAC this time. I have only had 1 previous c-section. but my doc is talking about just scheduling a c-section to remove the dermoid at the same time. Could I still try for a VBAC and just remove the dermoid later after delivery?(if it remains small of course)

yes u can do it but the safer option will be to go for another caesarian section, removal of dermoid,and ligation at same time
