Breast cysyts: Cysts can be common, the mammogram will be helpful and can tell if the mass is cystic or solid, and you may need to get a supplemental Ultrasound as well, depending on the results of the mammo. Some cysts can "come and Go" with hormonal changes. Best wishes.

Ultrasound: If you have a cyst in your breast it can be seen on ultrasound. Your doctor does not seem to be worried about the cyst. They usually stick around but if it starts to grow your doctor will want additional tests

Mammography: The mammogram is excellent to ascertain reaction to the cyst and to see if any growth associates with it or any calcium. An ultrasound is another excellent test. Cysts can ebb and grow. Have you had trauma?
