Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
This can be malignant spread in ovary.
Better to get done
1. CT scan of abdomen
2. PET Scan
3. Biopsy of lesion.
All these will be needed to rule out malignant ovarian lesion.
So consult oncologist and discuss all these.
You may need systemic chemotherapy or surgical removal of ovary if malignant lesion is present.
