No calcification noted within the lesion. Concomitant ultrasound done that shows a well-defined cystic lesion with small soft tissue component in it.

I'm not sure what type of options you are asking about. The report indicates that this is a benign cyst. The only option I can see would be to just leave it alone. The aspiration would not be more than sticking a small needle in the cyst and removing the fluid within the capsule. If this cyst is causing her no discomfort it could be left as is but I would discuss this with her personal Physician before deciding against aspiration. Regards .....
