Breast cysts are fluid filled sacs in one or both breasts. The cysts are round and have distinct margins. When examining the breasts, the cyst will feel like a grape. Very rarely will a breast cyst will feel firm. Breast cysts tend to be more common in women in the ¾ decade of life but may present earlier. In most cases, breast cysts disappear after menopause. Breast cysts generally do not require treatment unless they are large, causing pain or the female just wants it removed. In most cases, surgery is not required but the cyst can be drained with a needle in the office. Unfortunately, breast cysts do come back but they are not life threatening nor are they cancerous.
