Research Notes on Cysts
A cyst is a closed sac having a distinct membrane and division on the nearby tissue. They may contain air, fluids, or semi-solid material. A collection of pus is called an abscess, not a cyst. Once formed, the cyst could go away by itself or will have to be removed using surgery. ...read more from Wikipedia
Fast Facts:
- Some of the most common type of cysts are breast cysts, Baker's cysts, ovarian cysts, sebaceous cysts, and ganglion cysts.
- Most cysts are benign, but some may produce symptoms due to their size and/or location.
- Rarely, cysts can be associated with malignant tumors.
- Sometimes the fluid contained within a cyst can be drained.
- Cysts that are very large and result in symptoms due to their size may be surgically removed.
