Where else can a cyst pop up?

I had a cyst taken out my left breast in 2001 and another in my right ovary in 2007.  I'm not sure how that happened but should I start looking out for it in other parts of my body as well or is it common in those areas?  What symptoms should I be weary of other than pain?

Cysts in different parts of the body aren't related at all. I've had Ovarian cysts (4 to be exact, and I'm only 22).

And if it makes you feel any better, the chances of cysts returning are slim. Or so my doctor told me.

I just noticed your profile indicates you're a male?? I'd think about changing my profile if I were you...

There are many, many different kinds of cysts and as far as I know they can appear anywhere in your body. But, they are not "related".. they are different types depending on where they are . But having one in one part of your body doesn't predispose you to having cysts elsewhere I don't believe.
