My sister is having surgery to remove one of her ovaries because of a mass (tumor) on it.
What is the best case here?

Need a lot more info
But the vast majority of ovarian neoplasms are benign

What do they think it is?
Women get cysts all the time on their ovaries

It could simply be a mass that grew to the point that the ovary had to come out. Not necessarily cancerous.
ETA: They also tend to err on the side of caution when they get too big or if the woman is older.

Wife's college roommate had an ovary removed for the same reason in her early 20's. Had three healthy children and she remains heathy herself.

Not a Dr. but very common, my wife has polycystic ovaries.

Well she's going to have one less ovary after the surgery. Basically this means that the number of ovaries she has will decrease by one. For example, if she has two ovaries (as many women do) then she'll have one ovary. If she has three then she'll be down to two. Here's a formula that you can copy and paste for your records:
NUMBER OF OVARIES - 1 = NEW NUMBER OF OVARIES
NUMBER OF OVARIES - 1 = NEW NUMBER OF OVARIES

That was a lot of typing for something unfunny
No one asked for pics yet? Most likely, there is little reason to worry. What many people dont realize is most obgyn spend more time doing surgeries than looking at pussy.

Meh, humor is subjective.

Except when it's objectively bad for being inappropriate, the dude's wife has a tumor ya dickhead. Mine might not have been hilarious but it was meant to be lighthearted for a guy that's worked up. Also, I had sex with your mother.
Having said all of this, would you care to meet at Sonic?

One of numerous possible benign etiologies.

My wife had one removed, size of grapefruit. It was classified "borderline". Went see an oncologist and he recommended hysterectomy after we had kids. Well after first boy she had total hysterectomy and everything fine.
Good luck to yall.

How old is she? That is the major statistical risk factor for malignancy. Size of the lesion and sonographic features (purely cystic, solid or mixed appearance) are also important indicators. Another good clue on how worried or not you should be is what type of doctor is operating on her. If it is a general Ob/Gyn surgeon and not a Gyn Onc surgeon, odds are her doctor thinks it is more than likely a benign process. If it has a high likelihood of being malignant, she needs to be in the hands of someone who is capable of doing an exhaustive pelvic and para-aortic lymph node sampling in addition to full tumor debulking.
Depending upon age and sonographic features, could be a simple functional or hemorrhagic cyst (I would rarely take the whole ovary out with that, generally just remove the cystic portion), an endometrioma (cystic lesion associated with endometriosis - also usually shoot for ovarian conservation in this instance), a mature cystic teratoma ("dermoid cyst"), a benign epithelial neoplastic cystic lesion (serous or mucinous cystadenoma), an epithelial ovarian cancer or other ovarian malignancy (least common).
Functional cysts, hemorrhagic cysts, endometriomas, dermoids and non-epithelial cancers (rare at any age) are more common in younger women, and benign and malignant epithelial tumors are more common in women over 40, with peak age being >60.

I had one the size of a grapefruit when I was about 15. Took it out along with the ovary. No issues since and I even ended up having twins!!!

My ex had surgery for cyst on ovary, then to remove the ovary. Definitely scary, but no there was no cancer. Hang in there.

Not enough information. A biopsy was surely done so they already know if it is benign or malignant and have aftercare planned accordingly.
