Breast cyst

A breast cyst is a fluid filled sac within the breast tissue. It is typically benign in nature. It is possible to have one or multiple breast cysts as well as affect one or both breasts. Breast cysts are usually round or oval in shape with a distinct capsule. On palpation a breast cyst feels like a grape or water filled balloon, they can also feel firm. Breast cysts can move easily, with touch, within the tissue. The cysts can change with the menstrual cycle, changing in size and tenderness.This is a common finding in women between 35-50 years old, but not limited to that age range.
