Research Notes on Cysts

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.
