Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I recommend you do a test known as CA-125. It is tumoral marker for ovarian cancer.There is a possibility that this cyst maybe ovarian cancer. If this analysis comes normal you should not be worried but need only to control it periodically. In this case it can burst itself .

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
