Depends: There are many types of cysts. Simple cysts rarely if ever are cancer. Complex cysts can be more dangerous. If you have a cyst, be sure to follow up with your doctor. They may want to do a needle aspiration and sample the fluid. Hope this helps!

Cysts form: when milk ducts become blocked, then fill with fluid and dilate. Simple cysts are benign and have no malignant potential.
