A cyst is a closed sac-like swelling filled with fluid, pus, or semi-solid material that can develop anywhere in the body. Most cysts are benign (non-cancerous) and grow slowly, but they may become painful, infected, enlarge over time, or cause cosmetic concerns depending on their size and location. While many cysts are harmless, persistent or rapidly growing swellings should always be evaluated by a qualified surgeon.
