A member asked:

Cyst with papillary excrescences is solid compact tissue?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No: A cyst is not solid. That's why it is called a cyst, because there is space inside which contains, or at some time had contained, material.

Ovarian cyst: A papillary excrescence is a cauliflower like growth inside a cyst. It increases the chances that the cyst could be a malignancy.
