Hi again,
I just noticed that you have posted about your wife's problem before and have received answers from other people:
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Breast-Cancer/Complicated-Cyst/show/1409884?personal_page_id=1914129#post_6429077
We prefer that people keep all of their related posts in one thread, so all of your information will be available in one place; we will be able to see the answers you have already been given, so we do not to duplicate our efforts; and so that readers interested in a particular thread will know when you have discussed additional developments.
Please add any addition posts to this thread. Thanks!
Meanwhile, I hope you both are handling the wait for results as well as can be expected, and will let us know how things turn out.
Regards,
bb
Hi and welcome to our community,
Simple cysts are fluid-filled sacks, and by definition are benign.
Complex cysts also fluid-filled, but have solid structures (walls or septations) within the cyst. They can be more difficult to aspirate, since areas of fluid may be separated into compartments. If there is concern, a complex cyst can be removed surgically. A complex cyst should be biopsied because it is sometimes cancer, but usually not.
Your wife's doctor is being appropriately cautious. The wait for the pathologist's report is always difficult, but it is the only way to know for sure.
Please let us know what you find out, by adding an additional post to this same thread.
Best wishes to you and your wife, for a benign result!
Regards,
