cyst lump versus cancer lump
by D670, Jun 08, 2008 09:57PM
I would like to know if you can feel and see a cyst in the breast. Also are cysts fixed like breast cancer lumps or are they movable like lymphnodes?

How are you? A breast cyst appears as a lump on the breast, is often painful and may be worrisome but is generally benign. Signs and symptoms of breast cysts include: smooth, easily movable round or oval breast lump with distinct edges and pain or tenderness in the area of the lump. The pain and swelling is usually worse in the second half of the menstrual cycle or during pregnancy.The cystic nature of a breast lump can be confirmed by ultrasound examination. Ultrasound can also show if the cyst contains solid nodules, a sign that the lesion may be pre-cancerous or cancerous. Examination of the fluid aspirated from the cyst may also help with this diagnosis.
I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
