Cysts

Hollow tumours, containing fluid or soft material. They are almost always simple in nature.


A closed sac or pouch with a definite wall that contains fluid, semifluid, or solid material. It is usually an abnormal structure resulting from developmental anomalies, obstruction of ducts, or parasitic infection.


A sac or capsule in the body. It may be filled with fluid or other material.


An atypical yet typically benign abnormality manifests as a localized swelling or lump, containing fluid or semisolid substances within its confines. Cysts can develop within various organs or tissues throughout the body, presenting in diverse forms such as sebaceous cysts, dermoid cysts, ovarian cysts, breast cysts, Baker’s cysts, and cysts that encase parasites in conditions like hydatid disease or amoebiasis. Surgical intervention may be necessary to remove cysts that impede the normal functioning of bodily tissues, whereas asymptomatic cysts generally pose no significant concerns.
