Unrelated: Hi,Simple cysts are very common incidental findings.Prevelance in adults ranges between 3 and 10%. They are harmless and give no symptoms unless they are quite large and pressing on other organs. Diet has nothing to do with it. I am referring to simple cysts(referred to as Bosniak class 1).Don't worry about your small cyst.
