Clinical features and diagnosis
Breast cysts most commonly occur in peri-menopausal women, and they present as smooth discrete lumps which may be painful.
Cysts are easily seen on ultrasound and mammography when they appear to have a characteristic halo.
Diagnosis is established on fine needle aspiration when non-bloodstained fluid is aspirated and the lump disappears.
