Breast Cyst

Breast cysts are fluid-filled sacs that grow inside the breast. It is possible to have one or many breast cysts at a time. The cysts are commonly felt as a lump and can enlarge.

Cysts develop when an overgrowth of glands and connective tissue (fibrocystic changes) block milk ducts, causing them to dilate and fill with fluid.
