Common Questions and Answers about Lump vs cyst
lump
My 8 year old daughter has a lump on the top of her. It appears to move when she flexes. When looking online, it seems she might have a ganglion cyst. I am going to take her to have it looked at, but wanted to know if I should she her Pediatrician, a Ped Dermatologist or a Ped Orthopedic Doctor.
The vet has hypothesized that her lump is a cyst, but has not conducted any tests. The area has never lost fur, and she has never seemed to be bothered by it in the least. When Queenie was a kitten she had a terrible abcess. I remember what that was like, so I monitor every little thing extremely carefully. Now that Queenie is an old lady (she is 17), she gets extremely nervous if I take her anywhere in the car.

Hello everyone I was recently diagnosed with a 10 cm (Is now 8.4cm) and 4cm cyst which could be hemorhaggic or endometrioma and possible endometriosis. I was referred to a gynecologic oncologist to have a cystectomy. I had a Ca-125 and it came back 190. Three weeks later I had a repeat and it came back 110. The problem is that he wants to do a laparatomy versus a laprascopic surgery. I asked him why and he said because of the size and because he would not be able to take it out of a tiny hole.
So I'm 14 and I've never been to a gyno. I never really needed to. But recently I noticed a white lump in one of my outer lips in my vulva and I don't know what it is. I searched and I though it could be a vulvar cyst which usually goes away on it's own if you take care of it and stuff. But I'm starting to worry because the lump I found got bigger and it's now itching, but when I touch it it's painful.
yesterday one of my friends discovered a hard painless lump located in her right side of groin area. she told me that a week ago she was experiencing a pain in her right leg but there was no lump present. could this pain be related to the lump that's there now? what could this lump be?
Hi,
I see no reason why you should be scared to have this lump evaluated by a medical professional....This could very well be a cyst related to the increasing hormonal fluctuation,it will generally increase in size before the menstrual period and decrease afterwards.
I strongly doubt that the lump in your breast is serious,since you have had it for so long,but you should be aware that it is an abnormality and I would advise not to let this go on any longer.
I had a transvaginal ultrasound done and my dr. is on vacation and the nurse gave me what the report said. I'm worrying myself sick not knowing the answers to these questions. The only details the nurse read to me from the ultrasound report was this: "Complex left ovarian mass vs. multiple contiguous cyst". My first question is, is there a difference between a mass and a cyst? Also, does the "vs." mean the radiologist wasn't sure if it was one or the other?
I have a lump in my breast ( ibelieve it may be a cyst an hormornal imbalance b/c its movable and hurts or feels tender around my period) which im going to the doctor soon to get checked out but also on the same side as the lump on my breast i feel a prickly feeling in my back(sometimes i feel a bit of tightness)..can this be due to the lump?
A fluid filled lump is a cyst. If it becomes bothersome, it can be drained. A hardened lump could be just dead tissue, an enlarged or infected gland, or breast cancer. Only examination by your doctor, with a mammogram and ultrasound will give you an idea of what it is, and a doctor would probably want to do a fine needle biopsy just to be sure whether it is cancer or not. 80% of lumps are benign.

I found a painful lump on my throat, doctor did blood work for thyroid came back fine. Did an ultrasound and was told its probably a cyst on my thyroid and to take antibiotics. Is this normal or should I go to a endocrinologist? I feel as if something more is going on. I have ear pain, hurts to sneeze, cough, yawn and when I press on it. I also feel like I have a lump in my throat. Any suggestions?
She also said that she would not be able to drain the cyst. At that time the cyst was only painful at times. Therefore, I decided to leave the cyst alone and wait and see. Well, the cyst has grown much larger (double in size / to about 3 inches wide) and is much more painful. Upon having my mammogram and ultrasound the radiologist concluded that it is not a simple cyst. She also mentioned that there were echos there. I am scheduled to have the mass removed August 8th.
Hi, I have a lump on the ventral base surface of the penile skin between the hair, it is not attach to the underlying muscle, it is only in the skin, when i pull the skin the hair follicle on the lump is stick to he lump, it is a little itchy, moderate hard in consistency, about 0.6cm in dimension. it is mobile with skin pulled. 1stly there is a little itchy there but there is no lump, later i rubbed there and then the lump came out.
A CT scan would be diagnostic, however certain lumps can be diagnosed by palpation under experienced hands. If the lump is thought to be an abscess or cyst, then a fine needle aspiration cytology helps diagnose the cause.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!
